# University of Toronto CSC2521: Computational Design and Fabrication This github is the repository for all the assignments for the University of Toronto Course: Computational Design and Fabrication. Please use the issue tracker to report problems with the assignment code. ## Brief Explanation of LibFive Under the hood this code uses the LibFive library for shape manipulation [https://libfive.com](https://libfive.com). You will notice that methods in these assignment take in variables of the type Kernel::Tree (i.e Kernel::Tree A). The code treats A as an implicit function A(x). At runtime every x in the scene is passed to A and the surface is evaluated by collecting all x's for which A(x) < 0. You manipulate shapes by crafting new functions. For instance, let's say you wanted to create a new shape H, that involved the sum (this is different from the union) of two other shapes A and B. You would right H = A + B For any given x, the value of H will be A(x) + B(x). You can see examples of more manipulations on the libfive homepage or in the shapes.cpp in the utils directory. Libfive supports most standard mathematical operations (+,-,max, min,sin,cos .... ). ## Optimization For those of you inspired to learn more about optimization by Assignment 2, there are two must read books on the subject (in my opinion). The first is [Convex Optimization](http://web.stanford.edu/~boyd/cvxbook/) by Stephen Boyd which is widely considered the best textbook on the subject. The second, and my personal favourite, is [Numerical Optimization](https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9780387303031) by Jorge Nocedal and Stephen J. Wright which is more numerically focused and offers a wonderfully clear treatment of common descent based methods for continuous optimization.
