MATH 5437 - Mathematics and Computation of Curves and Surfaces (3 Credit Hours)

Lecture Hours: 3 Lab Hours: 0
This course is a study of the mathematical and computational techniques used for the computer generation of curves and surfaces. The primary representations for the curves and surfaces are univariate and multivariate polynomials and splines in the Bernstein/Bezier and B-spline bases. These curves and surfaces are used for data fitting (interpolation and smoothing)and approximation. Topics include: recursion, smoothness, surfaces overgrids, surfaces over triangulations, simplex and box splines, variation curves and surfaces, transformations and projections.

Prerequisite(s): A minimum grade of “C” in MATH 2160 and MATH 2243.
Cross Listing(s): MATH 5437G.
