Class Information

No prior knowledge of computer graphics is required for this class. However, you will need to have knowledge of basic linear algebra. Solid programming skills in UNIX or Windows environments in C/C++ is required.

We will cover the mathematical concepts behind computer graphics as well as the C/C++ implementations of these concepts by means of OpenGL. There will be regular programming assignments. One or two short written assignments may also be added in order to confirm your understanding of the mathematics. There will not be a final exam therefore these assignments will determine your grade.

Late submissions will not be accepted. If you need an extension you need to contact me at least a week in advance.
