Summary
The course combines geometric and computer disciplines - planimetry, stereometry, analytic geometry, 3D modeling, computer graphics and programming.
In the exercise there is used free software GeoGebra and POV-Ray.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
• to solve planimetric and stereometric tasks with the help of computer
• to know how to characterize geometric curves and surfaces by synthetic and also analytic way
• to acquaint with geometric and physical principles of 3D modeling
Course Contents
The program of lectures
=================

1 Basic geometric objects (point, line, plane), terms and constructions
2 Planimetry - properties of triangles
3 Planimetry - basic constructions of triangles (altitudes, medians, angles)
4 Planimetry - advanced constructions of triangles (identity mappings, inscribed circle, add to trapezium)
5 Planimetry - homothety (tangent of two circles, triangle inscribed to square)
6 Conics - derived from right circular conical surface, the definition of an ellipse
7 Conics - construction of an ellipse of the specified elements
8 Conics - definition and construction of a hyperbola
9 Conicc - definition and construction of a parabola
10 Kinematic Geometry - elliptical and cadioidical motion
11 Kinematic Geometry - conchoidical and cyclical movements
12 Stereometry - cuts of a cube
13 Stereometry - cuts of other solids
14 Reserve
