Entry Knowledge

Basics of plane and 3D geometry a stereometrie as taught at secondary schools.

Aims

Students should be able to construct conics using their focus properties, understand the principles of perspective colineation and affinity using such properties in solving problems, understand and get the basics of projection: Monge`s projection, orthogonal axonometry, and linear perspective. They should develop 3D visualization and be able to solve simple 3D problems, display simple geometric bodies and surfaces in each type of projection, their section with a plane and intercestions with a straight line. In a linear perspective, they should be able to draw a building. They should learn the basics of the theoretical solution of roofs and topographic surfaces.


Students should be able to construct conics using their focus properties, perspective colineation and affinity. Understand and get the basics of projection: coted, Monge`s projection, orthogonal axonometry, and linear perspective. They should be able to solve simple 3D problems, display the basic geometric bodies and surfaces in each projection, their section. In a linear perspective, they should be able to draw a building. They should be theoretically able to solve the roof and solve the location of the construction object in the terrain, both in coted projection.
