Preface
This book is about geometry of part surfaces, their generation, and interaction with one another. Written by a mechanical engineer, this book is not on differential geometry of surfaces. Instead, the book is devoted to the application of methods those developed in differential geometry of surfaces, for the purposes of solving problems in mechanical engineering. A paradox exists in our current understanding of geometry of surfaces: We know everything about ideal (perfect) surfaces, which do not exist in reality, and our knowledge about real surfaces that exist physically is limited. Therefore, one of the main goals of the book is to adjust our knowledge of ideal surfaces for the purposes of better understanding of geometry of real surfaces. In other words: the goal of the book is to bridge a gap between ideal and real surfaces. One of the significant advantages of the book is due to that it is written not by a mathematician, but it is written by a mechanical engineer, and for mechanical engineers. Southfield, MI, USA
