In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of computer graphics. We will explore raster algorithms in 2D and 3D, coordinate transformations, projections, lighting/shading, and ray-tracing. We will use OpenGL in this course so when you complete the course, you should understand how to use basic OpenGL and also write a simple ray-tracer. The course will start with how to take mathematical equations into algorithms. We will then study the fundamentals of computer graphics such as rasterization, transformations, hidden-surface removal, lighting, texture mapping and ray-tracing. The objection is a fundamental understanding of computer graphics methods as well as practical OpenGL programming abilities.
