CS559
Fall 2005

Calendar and schedule for CS559.

With readings:"SX" means chapter X from Fundamentals of Computer Graphics, "OGL X" means chapter X from the OpenGL programmers Guide. Readings surrounded with a "*" are not necessary for the lecture, but should be read at some afterwards. Readings in parentheses are optional. So "S21-21.2 (21)" means "read chapter 21 of Shirley up to and including Section 21.2 (and all of its subsections). All of chapter 21 is an optional reading." Readings may be associated with assignments.

Some other readings are marked as "Rname" (such as Rsubd1, for the first reading about subdivision). These readings are

The assignments (and projects) are always due on Tuesdays before the lecture begings.

Lecture schedule and readings are subject to change.
