Spring 2004

Instructor: G. Farin, farin@asu.edu

Syllabus

The class will cover material from Chapters 1-14 of the text NURBS, second edition, AK Peters, Boston. To get an idea of what will be covered, here is last year's class log This class is aimed at bringing students close to independent research, and no week-to-week syllabus is possible: if interesting topics arise, we will spend more time on them. Student input on choice of topics is welcome!

Grading

There will be four programming projects and four homework assignments. Of these eight assignments, six must be completed. All carry equal weight. Click here for current grades.


 

Assignments

All homework must be produced using a word processor; handdrawn sketches are fine. Do not hand in code. Teamwork is OK, but a team has to do more work than an individual. Late work will be discounted at a rate of 5% per day.
