This encyclopedia presents an all-embracing collection of analytical surface classes. It provides concise definitions and description for more than 500 surfaces and categorizes them in 38 classes of analytical surfaces. All classes are cross references to the original literature in an excellent bibliography.
The encyclopedia is of particular interest to structural and civil engineers and serves as valuable reference for mathematicians.

"The book under review is an encyclopedic publication about analytical and differential geometry of regular analytic surfaces, which found application in various branches of mathematics, engineering and construction. ... The book is intended for geometers, architects, builders and professionals dealing not only with geometry, but also people interested in fluid mechanics, optics and others. It will be useful to university teachers, school teachers, graduate students and students." (Ivailo Mladenov, zbMATH 1321.53001, 2015)
