Title: Applications of Algebraic Geometry in Geometric Modelling.
Abstract: In this talk, I will present some examples to illustrate the
applications of algebraic geometry in geometric modelling. Specifically, I
will
talk about implicitization of rational curves and surfaces, blending
algebraic
surfaces with piecewise algebraic surfaces, and computing singular points
and
inflection points of curves. Further research problems will be proposed.
