This weeks topics include some general comments on the kinds of things we cover in a graphics class, as well as to get started thinking about coordinate systems and linear algebra. It is best to read all this before class on Thursday, September 4th.
Readings about general graphics things (both in Tutorials):
Readings about vectors and coordinate systems to get started with that:
- Points, Vectors and Coordinate Systems (why are points and vectors different?) in Tutorials
- Chapter 1 of Practical Linear Algebra (library online reserve) (course reader) (If you haven’t seen it, check the books discussion).
Readings about some practical stuff to get ready for the upcoming assignments (Tutorials):
