Course Aims

This course introduces students to coordinate geometry, which is closely related to art, design, architecture, computer graphics. The content includes curves in two-dimensional space, curves in three-dimensional space, surfaces in three-dimensional space. The emphasis is on developing the concept of coordinate representation of some basic geometric objects in both two- and three-dimensional spaces and understanding how to compute some important geometric quantities like distance, normal vector, etc.
