Report on activities in 2007

Planned activities

  • Upgrading on-line educational material supported by Mathematica 6.0 and webMathematica for the curricula Differential geometry. Link 1, Link 2
  • Upgrading on-line educational material for the curriculum Basics of Engineering Informatics II. Content: Mathematica 6.0
  • Upgrading on-line educational material for the curricula Descriptive geometry.
  • Upgrading on-line educational material for the curriculum Analytic geometry.
  • Upgrading on-line educational material about ruled sutfaces Link 1, and about the intersection of surfaces Link 2
  • Upgrading interactive webMathematica files about the pedal surfaces of (1,n) congruences.
  • Publishing geometrical scientific papers containing the visualizations of geometrical objects in projective-metric planes and spaces.
  • Providing better opportunities and facilitating students to work independently in the field of geometrical graphics.
  • Collaboration with all the partners included in the project in exchange of ideas, experience and developed software.
