      abstract = {This primer discusses a numerical formulation of the  theory of an elastic rod, known as a discrete elastic rod,  that was recently developed in a series of papers by Miklós  Bergou, et al. Their novel formulation of discrete elastic  rods represents an exciting new method to simulate and  analyze the behavior of slender bodies that can be modeled  using an elastic rod. The formulation has been extensively  employed in computer graphics and is highly cited. In the  primer, we provide relevant background from both discrete  and classical differential geometry so a reader familiar  with classic rod theories can appreciate, comprehend, and  use Bergou, et al.’s computational efficient formulation of  a nonlinear rod theory. The level of coverage is suitable  for graduate students in mechanics and engineering  sciences.},
