prerequisite
Knowledge
General prerequisity is basic knowledge in differential calculus (one and more variables), linear algebra, analytical geometry, and projection methods (content is given by subjects MS1, MS2, and GS1).
learning outcomes
Student is able to describe curves and surfaces which are used in mechanical engineering and he/she is able to construct orthogonal projection of this objects and to solve geometric problems on surfaces (tangets, curvatures, cuts, common curve, development). Student uses graphics and computational methods.
