### Exercise 3.2: Parametric Surface Analysis

**Problem Statement:**
A parametric surface is defined as \( \mathbf{P}(u, w) = \left[ 0.5(1 - u)w + u, \; w, \; (1 - u)(1 - w) \right] \) for \( 0 \leq u, w \leq 1 \). 

You are tasked to:
1. Compute the corner points.
2. Determine the boundary curves.
3. Find the diagonals of the bilinear surface patch.

#### 1. Corner Points
To find the corner points of the bilinear surface patch, evaluate \( \mathbf{P}(u, w) \) at the vertices of the unit square in the parameter space \( (u, w) \).

- \( \mathbf{P}(0, 0) \)
- \( \mathbf{P}(0, 1) \)
- \( \mathbf{P}(1, 0) \)
- \( \mathbf{P}(1, 1) \)

#### 2. Boundary Curves
The boundary curves can be found by setting \( u = 0 \), \( u = 1 \), \( w = 0 \), and \( w = 1 \):
- For \( u = 0 \): \( \mathbf{P}(0, w) \)
- For \( u = 1 \): \( \mathbf{P}(1, w) \)
- For \( w = 0 \): \( \mathbf{P}(u, 0) \)
- For \( w = 1 \): \( \mathbf{P}(u, 1) \)

#### 3. Diagonals
To find the diagonals, evaluate the parametric surface along lines where \( u = w \) and \( u = 1 - w \).

- For \( u = w \): \( \mathbf{P}(u, u) \)
- For \( u = 1 - w \): \( \mathbf{P}(u, 1 - u) \)

Lastly, visualize these computations to better understand the geometric properties of the bilinear surface patch.
