In this class we will study the fields of computer graphics and scientific visualization. This will include mathematical foundations, algorithms and data structures, hardware, and graphics libraries. We will discuss user interfaces and event driven programming. We will produce program involving both 2D and 3D images.
The skills required for this class are a mixture of mathematics and the ability to program in C/C++. Students will be required to produce working programs using the department's Linux computer systems. We will be employing the OpenGL API as well as the GLUT toolkit. I will expect you to use the unix make utility as well.
Students who wish to successfully complete this class are encouraged to:
This class meets MWF 2:00 to 2:50 in Ross Hall room 136.
