Designing fair curves and surfaces: shape quality in geometric modeling and computer-aided design
This cutting-edge learn of the strategies used for designing curves and surfaces for computer-aided layout purposes specializes in the primary that reasonable shapes are consistently freed from unessential positive factors and are easy in layout. The authors outline equity mathematically, show how newly constructed curve and floor schemes warrantly equity, and help the person in settling on and elimination form aberrations in a floor version with no destroying the critical form features of the version.

Studentsare then asked to explain again how the coloringon the summarycardtells thatthe sum of the angles is 180 degrees, (including why the saws and ladders are saws and ladders). They are asked if they have learned this fact before, and if so, how. Finally, if studentsdid not complete it earlier, they are again shown the sheet from Activity 1 which shows a triangle with only two angle measurementsgiven. note: This is the first time that studentsare asked explicitly about the sum of the angles of a triangle.
First you had to learn the simple facts such as 2+3=5 and 5+4=9. " This relationis pictured with an arrow,as shown. " 41 SuvY of aoA\Ces of (o tr'i ^a lI is t 0?. %,J The interviewer points to the fact summary cards and says: "Let us return to these geometryfacts we've been discussing. "If necessaryan example is given of how to place an arrowfrom "anglesum of a triangle" to "angle sum of a quadrilateral" cards. Studentsare then asked "Whatcould you say about the angle sum of a five-sided figure, a pentagon?
The transitionto "lengthx width" is made by relating area via strips with area determinedby measuring length (rows) and width(squaresin a row). " To solidify understandingof the rule, the studentis asked 48 to find areasof rectanglesand relatedshapes, explainingwhen the rule applies and when it does not. r 7. i Now an alternate rule, "base x height," is developed, using an L-square device to measurebase and height of cut-outrectangles held upright. note: After the AssessmentActivity 2, studentscan enterthis activity at different places.
