Abstract
Description and discussion of curves and surfaces focusing on their generation by movement: Parameterization, tangent vector, tangent plane, ruled surfaces, developable surfaces. (Methods of vector geometry and differential calculus are used.)
Objective
Vertiefen und Ergänzen der mathematischen Kenntnisse und Fertigkeiten Behandeln einiger für das Studium der Architektur fundamentaler Begriffe und Strukturen im Rahmen der Mathematik Erkennen, dass mathematische Beschreibung und Abstraktion zu neuen Einsichten führen und verborgene Zusammenhänge erschliessen können
