57: NURBS (NonUniform Rational B-Splines): A Primer
Wednesday, Half Day
1:30 – 5:15 pm
Room 006AB
A working knowledge of the underlying mathematics of NURBS
is provided. Approaching the topic from an engineering point of view,
this course focuses on the fundamental principles required
to understand and develop a fast rational B-spline (NURBS)
surface algorithm.
Prerequisites
College algebra and plane geometry are useful. Some programming
experience or experience using Bèzier, B-Spline,
or NURBS packages is useful.
