MESH A Journey Through Discrete Geometry

From the reviews:"The mathematical film Mesh … has already won numerous international prizes. Mesh is a ground breaking 40-minute computer animation that explores the advancement of discrete geometry from the ancient Greeks to contemporary research topics. … With its synthesis of cutting-edge visualization, breathtaking artistry, storytelling and humor, Mesh presents complex ideas in a way that is palpable and relevant to even a novice audience. … Das ist ein ganz wesentlicher Ansatzpunkt für die Kompression geometrischer Daten … Mit ruhiger Stimme beschreibt der Mathematiker seine Vision. Er ist der festen Überzeugung, dass ein Technologiesprung bevorsteht. …"(Dreiecksgeschichte, in: Die Rheinpfalz, 18. März 2007, S. 19)"Mesh lays out the full theoretical framework behind the use of meshes … . As a practical teaching too, Mesh has all the necessary depth to introduce the subject to a student; as a film for general audiences, it’s clear enough for the neophyte with a bit of advanced high school science to follow; and as a primer, it’s bright and colorful enough to make a 10-year-old want to revisit the subject in years to come."
