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
