CAD Joint Symposium on Visual Computing / Graphics and In, "log-aesthetic discrete filter" in collaboration with Professor Miura of Shizuoka University has been announced.

Presentation and research (International Conference) Mathematical Methods for Curves and Surfaces (2008/07)

Yoshida, Mathematical Methods for Curves and Surface in, gave a research presentation titled On the logarithmic curvaturte and torsion graphs. Toensberg of Norway to the hotel of Orlando hotel, near the Sun It took about a plane connecting twice, in door to door, and leaving the luggage arrived at the hotel, as I listened to an invited talk. I'm reading this lecture, very nice, you can purchase a book that way, and then return home. (About ¥ 1500! The Big Mac), I was able to get a lot of useful information, but Norway was higher prices are very. Teachers and co-workers, to climb a nearby hill at lunch time, I talked about a variety of research, such as while eating lunch. That recent research has progressed, we can see that there is a possibility that can be applied to another study, this was also very beneficial. The excursion of the meeting, I was talking with the teacher of foreign teachers of Japanese acquaintance, was introduced me to things I "He is not have been presented at (International Conference on CAD) Orlando" and. While thinking "this teacher? Would not anyone," and was greeted with a handshake. Later on, when you hear, was a very famous teacher in the spline function. In addition to this teacher, teacher has been made ​​famous in the field of curves and surfaces many had participated. Japanese participants, but will sometimes were far it was four people and fewer.

Return from Norway is also that there was no set of flights, I went back to night in Seattle over the United States. At the airport in Seattle, if you are looking for a book in the shop will want to read this is very, discovered the book called The Last Lecture (last lecture). I called last lecture is the last lecture of the university teacher to do when to retire from the university. I purchased would pick up any book, so I thought it was a book so I read any. Dr. Randy Pasuch of the author, a professor at CMU, is also relatively close to the field of teacher and I an expert in Human-Computer Interaction. Famous teacher in the book, I also know that came out several people (at an international conference CAD, I was talking with another teacher or CMU will chance of something). And this way, the life expectancy of several months and in pancreatic cancer. Part in the flight back, which describes that particular family, was read to fill the tears from their eyes. However, I think this book, and the book is not just shed a tear. . "When there is an elephant in the room, introduce it first!" I think, "The brick walls are there is a book written by a way of life, the degree of understanding of this book, and if there is only determined by one's lifestyle I love to (his wife and three small children) family, a lot of things and the message, to the way of life, etc. etc. there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. "," The head fake ... " me was a book.

The last lecture is home, here is. Video with subtitles in Japanese, here is so you can watch from. Although we recommend that you read in the original book, Japanese translation , "The Last Lecture" has come out.
