👉 Subdivision math, also known as mesh generation or discretization, is a process used to convert continuous mathematical domains (like curves or surfaces) into discrete, manageable parts, typically in the context of numerical analysis and computational geometry. This involves dividing a complex shape or domain into smaller, simpler subdomains or elements, such as triangles or quadrilaterals in 2D, or tetrahedra or hexahedra in 3D. These subdomains can then be used for various computational tasks, such as numerical integration, finite element analysis, or surface rendering. The goal is to approximate the behavior of the original continuous domain with a system that can be easily computed and analyzed using discrete methods, making it easier to solve complex problems in engineering, physics, and computer graphics.
