Computer Graphics

The document outlines a 17-week course on computer graphics that covers fundamental concepts like ray casting and rasterization in the first two weeks. Later topics include polygonal representation, projections, rendering equations, texture mapping, spatial data structures, and geometric modeling techniques like intersections, curves, and surfaces. Assignments, quizzes, and a mid-term exam are scheduled throughout the course.
