This book deals with the algebraic geometric method of studying multivariate splines. Topics treated include: the theory of multivariate spline spaces, higher-dimensional splines, rational splines, piecewise algebraic variety (including piecewise algebraic curves and surfaces) and applications in the finite element method and computer-aided geometric design. Many new results are given. Audience: This volume will be of interest to researchers and graduate students whose work involves approximations and expansions, numerical analysis, computational geometry, image processing and CAD/CAM.
