Course detail
FSI-SKGAcad. year: 2023/2024
Constructive geometry and computer graphics course summarizes and refines basic geometric concepts, including basic geometric representations, and introduces students to some types of projections, their properties, and applications. Emphasis is placed on rectangular axonometry. The basics of plane kinematic geometry are also presented. The course is dedicated to displaying curves, surfaces and solids with planar sections with an overlap into computer graphics. The theoretical basis is implemented in the algorithms for the visualization of curves and surfaces in the MATLAB system. Practical applications of modeling algorithms are presented in Rhinoceros software.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
COURSE-UNIT CREDIT REQUIREMENTS:Participation in exercises, prepare the semester work and sucesufully complete the written test assigned to about the 10th week of classes. Each work must be evaluated at least 50% of the maximal number of points.
FORM OF EXAMINATIONS: The exam has a practical and a theoretical part. The practical part lasts 90 minutes and contains 3 examples. The evaluation value of practical part is 70 points. Theoretical part is evalueted by a maximum of 30 points.
RULES FOR CLASSIFICATION:
Final classification:0-49 points: F50-59 points: E60-69 points: D70-79 points: C80-89 points: B90-100 points: A
Attendance at seminars is required. The way of compensation for an absence is fully at the discretion of the teacher.
Aims
The aim of the course is to deepen spatial imagination, to familiarize students with the principles of visualization and important properties of some curves and surfaces. The task of the course is to introduce students to the basics of constructive geometry and display techniques in computer graphics. They can apply the acquired knowledge in subsequent specializied subjects.
Constructive geometry and computer graphics course allows students to gain an orientation in basic geometric terms and relationships between them, knowledge of solving spatial problems, properties of curves and surfaces with their visualization issue.
