Apart from being significantly more affordable, the second printing corrects a number of errors. However, exercises in a given chapter sometimes refer to the material introduced in another one. A nurbs curve parameterized by u is represented as c u i f i u p i, where the p i are control points that determine the shape of the curve, and the f i u are the rational basis functions, each nonzero on one knot span.
