Neither Pythagoras nor Euclid could have foreseen today's
importance of geometry in modern technological systems
of computer-aided design and manufacture. This work
offers the first survey of the mathematical principles of
shape and form and embraces a very wide spectrum of their
applications. It will stimulate the current and growing
revival of interest in the applications of geometry and will
encourage creative thinking about problems of form, as for
instance, in the behaviour of environmental fields in their
interaction with buildings. It will widen awareness of such
versatility of application in other fields whose workers
can now gain a clearer perception of how these rich mathe-
matical concepts can be utilised.
