MOTIVATING  GEOMETRY THROUGH
COMPUTATION  AND  VISUALIZATION

funded by NSF-CCLI grant DUE-0126687

Principal Investigator

This project is to develop interactive materials for MA 323 Geometric Modelling.   The material to be developed includes a proto type for a web-based text with java applets to learn about Bezier curves, B-splines, Catmull-Rom spline, Bezier patches, Coons patches, and more.  The above methods have extensive applications in computer graphics, computer aided design (CAD), imaging science and other fields.  Part of this grant will fund work for 3 students during the summer to aid in the development of these course materials (interested students should contact David Finn and submit an application form).
