The study of shapes, sizes, patterns, and positions.
The study of spaces where soem quantity (lengths, angles, etc.) can be measured.
Many Ways to digitally encode geometry
Explicit : Immediately where this shape or point is, and how they connected
point cloud
polygon mesh
subdivision, Nurbs
Implicit : am i in the shape or not
Level set
algebraic surface
L-system
constructive solid geometry
blobby surface
fractals
Implicit Representations of Geometry
Points aren’t known directly, but satisfy some relationship
unit sphere is all points such that x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 1
More generally f(x,y,z) = 0
Explicit Representations of Geometry
All points are given directly
points on sphere are (cos(u)sin(v), sin(u)sin(v), cos(v)), for 0 <= u <= 2pi and 0 <= v <=pi.
Differential Geometry Introduction
Roughly Speaking, classical differential geometry is the study of local properties of curves and surface. By local properties we mean those properties which depend only on the behavior of the curve or surface in the neighborhood of a point. (Differential Calculus), so the curves and the surfaces considered in dg will be defined by functions which can be diffeerentiated a certain number of times. The other aspect is the so-called global differential geometry. All the influence impacted by the local properties of curve and surface is so called global differential geometry.
