Hi everybody,

 

Can anyone name some good solid geometry books please?

My field of study is Computer sciences, so I khow basic mathematics and geometry and I have a course on basic manifold geometry, so I'm looking for some advanced books, and because I'm working on computer graphics, I prefere the books to be new and to have some new stuff. My purpose is to find the mathematical discription of shapes in 3D space.

 

In the links below I'm going to show you what my fields of interests are:

Thanks aLot.

 

 

I can find lots of books on amazon for example, but as this is outside my field of interest I cannot personally recommend anything.

 

If you find a good book that suits you then please post the details here, others may find that information useful.
