Description
Summary:The design of airplanes, ships, automobiles, and so-called ""sculptured parts"" involves the design, delineation, and mathematical description of bounding surfaces. A method is described which makes possible the description of free-form doubly curved surfaces of a very general kind. An extension of these ideas to hyper-surfaces in higher dimensional spaces is also indicated.
