Introductory Course on Computational Manifolds
SEPT-NOV, 2011
Tuesdays and Thursdays 1:30 to 3:00 PM
Location: Auditório 3, IMPA
Overview
This course is designed to teach you, at a graduate level, the theoretical
foundations and the computational aspects of surface constructions based on
a constructive notion of manifold. The course also covers some modern
applications of manifold-based constructions to graphics and engineering
problems. At the end of the course you should:
- be familiar with the mathematical foundations underlying manifold-based surface constructions;
- be familiar with the computational aspects of the main manifold-based surface constructions, and
- be able to apply a manifold-based surface construction to problems in graphics and engineering.
