Numerical Geometry of Non-Rigid Shapes

The book "Numerical Geometry of Non-Rigid Shapes" offers a comprehensive analysis and synthesis of non-rigid shapes, which are significant in many fields, including medicine and security. It addresses the challenges and techniques for modeling deformable objects, which are becoming increasingly important in modern science. The authors, Ron Kimmel and Michael M. Bronstein, combine insights from various disciplines such as theoretical and numerical geometry, optimization, linear algebra, graph theory, machine learning, and computer graphics to find solutions to complex problems. The systematic presentation of the content is supported by numerous illustrations that facilitate the understanding of the concepts. At the end of each chapter, there are exercises with detailed solutions in the appendix, making the book a valuable learning tool for both students and professionals. The engaging design and the gallery of colored images enhance the appeal of the text.
