ECTS	10

Educational goal:

Enabling students to develop abstract thinking and acquire knowledge about computational geometry.

Educational outcome:

To use the acquired knowledge in engineering subjects and in practice, postulate and solve mathematical models in engineering subjects using the knowledge about computational geometry.

Course content:

Introduction (Euclidean, projective, affine and analytical geometry). Geometric Searching. Convex Hulls. Fundamental Algorithms. Variants and Generalizations. Intersections. Geometry of Rectangles. Fuzzy Computational Geometry. Computer Graphics and Geometric Modeling. Geometric algorithms of pattern recognition.

Teaching methods:

Lectures. Consultations. Lectures are organized in combined form. The presentation of the theoretical part is followed by the corresponding examples which contribute to better understanding of the theoretical part. In addition to lectures there are regular consultations. The students can take partial exams during the course. A part of the course material (which represents a unit of course subject matter) is presented orally and submitted as a written seminar paper. The oral part of the final examination is eliminatory. Through research and study work the student will, on the bases of scientific journals and other relevant literature that has been studied independently, develop further understanding of the material covered in lectures. Working with the course teacher the student develops the ability to independently work on a scientific paper.
