We present a new method for computing fundamental groups of curve complements using a variation of the Zariski–van Kampen method on general ruled surfaces. As an application we give an alternative (computation-free) proof for the fundamental group of generic (p,q)–torus curves.
Keywords: algebraic curve, fundamental group, braid monodromy
