INVITATION TO A SYMPOSIUM ON
COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN and SHAPE PRESERVING APPROXIMATION
Volvo, Torslanda, Goteborg
The Department of Mathematics at Chalmers University of
Technology, Volvo Data AB and the Swedish Institute of Applied
Mathematics have the pleasure of inviting you to a symposium on
COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN and SHAPE PRESERVING APPROXIMATION to be
held at Volvo, Torslanda on March 25 and 26, 1987.
A reception will be arranged on the evening of March 24. The
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AB Volvo, Med Dr h c
Pehr G. Gyllenhammar will take part in the initial deliberations
on March 25.
The purpose of the symposium is to bring together users of
computer aided design with mathematicians working in the fields of
optimization or approximation theory. The further advance of
CAD-technology requires the development of automatic procedures
for the generation of curves and surfaces. This leads to difficult
mathematical and computational problems, especially when one wants
the object designed to have a given quality.
This symposium will provide a status report on this exciting
interface between CAD and mathematics.
