Welcome to

CS 4/57101

Computer Graphics

❚ There will be three components to the course ❙ You will gain an understanding of the fundamentals of computer graphics through study of the the techniques, algorithms and hardware used in computer graphics. ❙ You will gain experience in the techniques involved in low level computer graphics programming such as that used to create computer graphics packages (such as OpenGL). ❙ You will use the industry standard based OpenGL library in several programming projects illustrating the theory and practice of programming computer 1/16/2001 graphics applications.

Goal: The goal of this course is to provide an introduction to the theory and practice of computer graphics. The course will assume a good background in programming in C++ and a background in mathematics including familiarity with the theory and use of coordinate geometry and of linear algebra such as matrix multiplication.

❚ Notes: ❙ Assignments will primarily be programming assignments requiring implementation of applications employing the theory covered in the lectures and books. There will however be some threoretical homeworks and questions as well. Students are reminded that completion of both theory and programming parts of the homework are necessary to achieve a good grade.
