Week 8

ARCH-2347 2014 Fall

Course ARCH-2347
Date 2014/11/03
Learning Objectives The parametric representation of curves and surfaces are introduced which underlies the functional view of drawing these objects using decod.es. The richness of parametrizing using other coordinate geometries -- polar, cylindrical and spherical -- will be demonstrated in the workshop.
