Aims

Know how to construct conics from the properties of their foci. Understand and apply the pinciples of perspective collineation and perspective affinity. Understand the basics of Monge´s projection and orthogonal axonometry. Know how to solve simple 3D problems. Display basic geometric bodies in each projection, its cut by a plane or intersected by a straight line. Know selected facts on the theory of curves and surfaces, construct a helix given by its elements and a right ruled helicoidal surface. Know the properties of developable surfaces, construct the development of a cylinder or a cone, inflex tangent of a base edge, radius of curvature at a point of a developed base edge. Know the properties of the surfaces of revolution, construct a section of a surface of revolution and a tangent to the section curve at the section point, construct intersection curve of two surfaces of revolution and a tangent to the intersection curve.
