Discovering Curves and Surfaces with Maple(r) (1997)

Despite the fact that Maple V has become one of the most popular computer algebra systems on the market, surprisingly few users realize its potential in the field of scientific visualization. This book shows how to turn Maple into an excellent modeling tool capable of generating elaborate surfaces that conventional modelers cannot produce and will appeal to students, educators, and researchers in a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines. It includes a DOS diskette with supplies the Maple code segments presented in the book along with additional renderings of some of the book's color plates.
