MATH 384 - Computational Graphics

Credit(s): 3
Lecture: 3
Non-Lecture: 0

An introduction to the mathematical and computational modeling of the visible world. Topics include vector representations of three-dimensional geometry; parametric and implicit forms of lines and surfaces; affine transformations; projections from three dimensions to two; rendering equations that model reflection, transmission, and absorption of light. Realistic models of real or imagined scenes will be created using these techniques, and drawn using a computer programming language. (During the fall semester of odd years, this course or MATH 385 will be offered.)

Prerequisite(s): MATH 223 and (MATH 230 or PHYS 261) and MATH 233
Offered: Not on a Regular Basis
