  • Introduction to interpolation and approximation theory
  • Spline curves and surfaces
  • Subdivision surfaces
  • Voxel and point set representations
  • Surface analysis using differential geometry
  • Level-of-detail representations
  • Implicit and explicit surface representations
  • Isosurface extraction
