Description:
This video introduces geodesic lines as the straightest curves on arbitrary surfaces and studies point waves as a case in point. Geodesics are a suitable tool in the intrinsic definition of numerical algorithms on surfaces. The visualization of interfering waves on arbitrary surfaces uses a branched texture map technique.
