Midterm written test: March 2nd, in class
02/18
The midterm written test will take place in class, on Tuesday March 2nd. We're doing it early in the week, so you're not burdened by too many midterms in the latter half of that week. However, please note that the March 4th lecture (right before Spring Break) is really important for Hw4 and Hw5, so please plan to attend class on that day as well.
The exam will be open book, open lecture notes -- you may bring any
printed materials you think you can fit on the desk without bothering
your neighbors.
You may *not* borrow or share your neighbor's materials. Students
who are
late will not be allowed in the classroom and in consequence will get 0 pts on the midterm.
You may bring a calculator. You may *not* use a laptop, cellphone, PDA
etc -- these will have to stay in the back of the room.

Assignment 2: Stitcher
is now open. Remember the algorithmic component is due in one week.
If you get stuck on Assignment 2, keep in mind there's a wealth of TA
and office hours available between now and Tue.
Also, some of you asked:
How does one get access to math functions such as cos and sin, or math constants
such as PI? (Since we're obviously gonna need them to compute
rotations matrices etc).
Answer: Trigonometric functions and constants are part of the standard
C library.
To access them you need to include in your program the header file math.h.
(math.h is already included in the support code, so worry no more).
See the support code for an example of calling such trigonometric functions.
The PI constant is called M_PI.
Last, but not least, check out tons of fun tessellated shapes and
formulas at:

(scroll down, or look for "Klein").
The Klein Bottle and Heart #1, in particular, are a lot of fun.

Instructions for using (or installing and using on your home machine) OpenGL and GLUT
have been posted under Assignments.
Figuring out how to build
and run programs that use OpenGL and GLUT will be part of your first
cs1566 assignment next week. If you're curious or eager, go ahead and
get already started. Have fun!

About CS1566
12/22
CS1566 -- Introduction to Computer Graphics -- will be offerred
again Spring 2010. Highlights
from earlier editions of the class are below.
With applications as far-reaching as special
effects, interactive TV, graphical user interfaces, information
visualization, industrial design, education, and computer games ranging from Doom 3 to The Sims, computer graphics plays an increasingly important role in our lives. This course is aimed to be a comprehensive introduction to basic concepts and algorithms in this field, and topics covered will include the fundamentals of scan conversion of geometric primitives, 2D and 3D transformations, 3D viewing and projection, color, hidden surface removal, simple illumination models, modeling, animation, and user interfaces.
