Interest in cubic surfaces increased enormously because of applications<br />

in Computer Aided Geometric Design. Idea: use patches<br />

of cubic surfaces to approximate a surface in 3-space. Store the<br />

equation, and for displaying the surface, calculate a parametrization.<br />

Fast calculation of parametrizations (and of equations), and low<br />

degrees in the polynomials giving the parametrization, means<br />

improved efficiency.<br />
