CRC Standard Curves and Surfaces is a comprehensive illustrated catalog of curves and surfaces of geometric figures and algebraic, transcendental, and integral equations used in elementary and advanced mathematics. More than 800 graphics images are featured. Based on the successful CRC Handbook of Mathematical Curves and Surfaces, this new volume retains the easy to use "catalog" format of the original book. Illustrations are presented in a common format organized by type of equation. Associated equations are printed in their simplest form along with any notes required to understand the illustrations. Equations and graphics appear in a side-by-side format, with figures printed on righthand pages and text on lefthand pages. Most curves and surfaces are plotted with several parameter selections so that the variation of the mathematical functions are easily understandable.
Coverage on algebraic surfaces and transcendental surfaces has been expanded by 30% over the original edition; material on functions in mathematical physics has expanded by 50%. New material on functions of random processes and functions of complex variable surfaces has been added. A complementary software program (see the next title listed in this catalog) enables you to plot all of the functions found in this book.

CHOICE Review

In this second edition of one of the numerous CRC handbooks, von Seggern has corrected errors that were found in the first edition of his work, CRC Handbook of Mathematical Curves and Surfaces (1990). Curves and Surfaces will be a useful book for the scientist, mathematician, engineer, and anyone else who might use special curves, from the architect to the zoologist. All curves have been checked using the computer program Mathematica. Many additional curves have been added to this second edition, and three-dimensional drawings are included from the Mathematica printouts. An excellent text for a library or as a personal reference. The Mathematica Notebook diskette, accompanying this second edition (priced separately), provides the opportunity to change the parameters to meet individual needs. The Mathematica Notebook product, an electronic supplement to this second edition of von Seggern's Curves and Surfaces, is separately available. With this Mathematica product the user has the opportunity to change the parameters to create additional curves to fit the user's data exactly. Also, the three-dimensional drawings can be looked at from different positions by rotating the picture. All graphics can be examined in color depending upon the parameters. An excellent addition to the second edition of CRC Standard Curves and Surfaces, and one that could be used without the hard-copy edition. Community college; undergraduate through professional. J. C.
