This is a follow-up seminar related to the Special Topics Geometry course offered during 2013W. Participants will be assigned topics related to implementation of geometry and simulation algorithms.

Having followed "Geometric algorithms for scientific computing in C++" duing 2013W is an advantage but not a requirement.
