In mathematics, Surface fairing is an aspect of mesh smoothing. The goal of surface fairing is to compute shapes that are as smooth as possible. On an abstract level, mesh smoothing is concerned with the design and computation of smooth functions on a triangle mesh. Mesh fairing does not just slightly smooth the function in order to remove the high frequency noise. It also smooths the function as much as possible in order to obtain, e.g., an as-smooth-as-possible surface patch or an as-smooth-as-possible shape deformation. How to actually measure smoothness or fairness obviously depends on the application, but in general fair surfaces should follow the principle of simplest shape: the surface should be free of any unnecessary details or oscillations. This can be modeled by a suitable energy that penalizes unaesthetic behavior of the surface. A minimization of this fairness energy—subject to user-defined constraints—eventually yields the desired shape. Example applications include the construction of smooth blend surfaces and hole filling by smooth patches. (Wikipedia).
In the first mini-lecture, we ask the question: what is surface anatomy? We learn how anatomy is the study of the structure of our bodies, including osteology, histology, gross anatomy, imaging, embryology and indeed surface anatomy. As you might imagine, surface anatomy studies the extern

In this video we make a round cast iron sanding plate for detailing machined parts out of an off cut disc of cast iron. Contrary to popular shop practice using a precision surface plate for sanding parts on is detrimental to its accuracy. This simple to build plate will save your surface p

We define what a Riemann Surface is. We show that PP^1 is a Riemann surface an then interpret our crazy looking conditions from a previous video about "holomorphicity at infinity" as coming from the definition of a Riemann Surface.
