This week we’ll finish talking about curves and move on to making pictures in 3D. Almost everything we learned in 2D will be useful in 3D.
Mon, Feb 25: Workbook 05: 2D Shapes assigned
Tue, Feb 26: Lecture: Cubics and Bezier Curves
Thu, Feb 28: Lecture: 3D Overview / Three Programming
Fri, Mar 1: Workbook 05: 2D Shapes due
And remember, the exam is coming up soon. (March 12th). More information will be provided this week.
Lecture from 2/21 – Lecture 9, Curves

I slipped and left a copy of an answer to some of the exercises to workbook 4 in the code. There is a comment that says “don’t give to students.”
Since it’s out, you have access to it.
I recommend that you try to do the problem without peeking at my answer. But, since you have my answer, I can’t stop you from checking your answer (or even copying it outright).
To make it easier to avoid peeking, we updated the repository so that the example solution is removed. So, if you have not yet created your repo, it won’t be in the current version. However, we did not go back into the commit history to delete the code: you can go back to an old commit to see the answer.
Note: no promises that the answer I accidentally left in the code is correct. I did not intentionally try to trick people, but I also didn’t check the version that is there.
We didn’t explicitly say it was a requirement for Workbook 3, but please type the Github ID that you use to create your classroom repo into the type-in box in the Canvas assignment for all workbooks/assignments!
It only takes you a few seconds (it’s about a dozen keystrokes, and you have to go to the Canvas page anyway to get the Github classroom link). But it is very helpful for the TAs and graders.
You can do this when you go to the Canvas page to get the assignment link to Github Classroom.
Mon, Feb 18: Workbook 04 : Transformation Math (in 2D) assigned
Tue, Feb 19: Lecture: Transformation and Shape in 2D
Thu, Feb 21: Lecture: Curves
Fri, Feb 22: Workbook 04 : Transformation Math (in 2D) due
This week, we’ll wrap up our discussion of transformations and discussion issues about representing shapes, particularly curves. We’ll stay in 2D, but all the concepts will be useful when we get to 3D (in a week or so).
By now, the weekly rhythm of workbooks being released on Monday and due on Friday/Monday should be standard for you. It seems that most people are getting the hang of it. The workbooks will start involve more programming in the next few weeks.
The most unusual calendar event for class coming up is the midterm exam on March 12th. Remember, if you need to make special arrangements for the exam, you need to contact the Professor at least 3 weeks in advance.

If you need a special accomodation for the mid term exam, we need to know soon. The official deadline is Tuesday 2/19 (3 weeks before the exam).
If you have a need for alternative testing please contact the instructor immediately (this is a valid thing to do by email).
If you are working with the McBurney Center, you still must contact me to make an arrangement (or decide that you will not need one).
If you have a class officially scheduled for Tuesday evening (e.g., English 431) please let us know. For the one student who did already, we’re working on it.
Sorry… we released the solution, but I forgot to post the link: https://cs559.github.io/Workbook02-Solution/
