Course Description

This course presents geometric foundations for curve and surface design, including: Bezier curves and curve interpolation, B-spline and NURBS curves, geometric continuity and parameterizations, tensor product surfaces, Coons and Gordon surfaces, Bezier triangles, trimmed NURBS surfaces, and surface interrogation. The presentation relies on intuitive geometric concepts, with applications to practical design problems. Live interactive demonstrations will be given.
