Contents

Practical methods for the representation of curves and surfaces, such as Bezier polynomials and splines, surface representations with tensor products and triangular decompositions.


Qualification Goals

The students shall

  • recognize that non-mathematical requirements, such as manageability, can influence the selection of function classes in practical use,
  • learn to recognize and assess the relevance of computer graphic methods for practical problems, e.g. in engineering, and to acquire the tools to solve these problems,
  • to recognize the relations of CAGD to other areas of mathematics, such as numerical analysis or differential geometry,
  • practice mathematical working methods (development of mathematical intuition and its formal justification, training of the ability to abstract, proof techniques),
  • improve their oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.

Prerequisites

Translation is missing. Here is the German original:

Keine. Empfohlen werden die Kompetenzen, die in den Basismodulen und im Aufbaumodul „Numerik“ (Numerische Basisverfahren) vermittelt werden.


Applicability

The module can be attended at FB12 in study program(s)

  • B.Sc. Mathematics
  • B.Sc. Business Mathematics
  • M.Sc. Computer Sciences
  • M.Sc. Mathematics
  • M.Sc. Business Mathematics

When studying M.Sc. Mathematics, this module can be attended in the study area Specialization Modules in Mathematics.

The module can also be used in other study programs (export module).

Die Wahlmöglichkeit des Moduls ist dadurch beschränkt, dass es der Angewandten Mathematik zugeordnet ist.
