Course Outline

This course introduces the fundamental principles of computer graphics and the mathematical concepts required for them. Topics includes the movement and placement of objects, animation, mapping to 2D screens, representation of shapes and appearance of 3D objects, and rendering pipeline. Students will practice the principles using the legacy OpenGL API in the lab sessions.
