Course Description and Purpose

Basic principles and techniques for computer graphics on modern graphics hardware.
Students will gain experience in interactive computer graphics using the OpenGL API.
Topics include: 2D viewing, 3D viewing, perspective, lighting, and geometry.

This course will introduce students to all aspects of c3omputer graphics including hardware,
software and applications. Students will gain experience using a graphics application
programming interface (OpenGL) by completing several programming projects.

Prerequisites

 Good programming skills in C.


 Concepts such as vectors, matrices and transformations form the basics of computer
graphics. Important topics are Trigonometry, Calculus, Statistics, and Differential
Equations etc.
 MATH 3311 - Linear Algebra is recommended.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of this course students should: Have a basic understanding of the core concepts of
computer graphics. Be capable of using OpenGL to create interactive computer graphics.
Understand a typical graphics pipeline. Have made pictures with their computer.
Format

This course will be a mixture of lectures, discussions, and demonstrations. The student is
expected to actively participate in all class activities. The student is also expected to do
outside work on assignments and to complete several pieces of software.
