Summary

This book contains the Proceedings of the Ninth Mathematics of Surfaces Conference organised by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, and held in Cambridge, UK, on 4th - 6th September 2000. The papers describe the mathematical construction, representation, approximation, recognition, and manipulation of surfaces, with an emphasis on computational methods. Highlights include invited papers from M. Floater (SNTEF, Norway), O. Faugeras (INRIA, France), P. Giblin (Liverpool University, UK), M.-S. Kim (Seoul National University, Korea), J. Koenderink (University of Utrecht, Netherlands), N. Patrikalakis (MIT, USA), H. Pottmann (Technical University of Vienna, Austria) and R. Schaback (University of Gvttingen, Germany).
