Hans Havlicek: Visualisation

This is a series of lectures and exercises about pictorial depiction of mathematics.


 

Regulus

One family of generators on a hyperbolic quadric

Quartic

A quartic surface

Lectures

The recent lectures cover the following topics:

  • Parallel Projection
  • Introduction to POV-Ray
  • Central Projection
  • Creating Images of Curves and Surfaces with POV-Ray
  • Animations

Lecture notes (Visualisierung, in German) can be downloaded from my page on Publications.

Student's Work

See some of the pictures and animations, which were created with POV-Ray - The Persistence of Vision Raytracer.
