Automatic Tessellation Of Quadric Surfaces Using Grassmann-Cayley Algebra

Grassmann-Cayley algebra (GCA) provides an efficient formulation of projectice geometry, allowing work with elementary geometrical objects at a low computational cost. In this paper we use GCA as a mathematical framework for modeling conic curves and quadric surfaces of 3D space, and for computing rational parameterizations of these. Then, through ad hoc sampling of the parameter space, we derive tessellations of conics and quadrics.
