Module objectives/intended learning outcomes

General Competence (Knowledge):

  Capable of performing abstractions regarding curvature (curves) and surfaces.

Specific Competence: student capable of

1.      Explaining the concept of curves and their properties.

2.      Explaining the concept of surface and its properties.

3.      Explaining the first fundamental concept.

4.      Explaining the second fundamental concept.

Content

Curve: tangents, curvature, torsion, different type of curve, Regular surface: tangent plane convention, first fundamental form: Metric tensor, Normal and geodesic curvatures, Gauss’s formula, Parallel vector fields along a curve and parallelism, Second fundamental form: Weingarten map, Principal, Gaussian, Mean and Normal curvatures, Dupin indicatrices, Conjugate and asymptotic directions, Isometries and the fundamental theorem of surfaces.

Examination forms

Essay

Study and examination requirements

Students are considered to pass if they at least have got a final score 40 (D).

Final score is calculated as follows: 10% softskill+30% assignment + 20% Quiz + 20% midterm + 20% final exam.

 

Final index is defined as follow:

A

: 86 – 100

AB

: 78 – 85.99

B

: 70 – 77.99

BC

: 62 – 69.99

C

: 54 – 61.99

D

: 40 – 53.99

E

: 0 – 39.99
