Computer graphics is a field of computer science that focuses on generating, manipulating, and rendering visual content using computers.

It
involves the creation of images, animations, and visual effects for a wide range of applications, including video games, movies, simulations,
user interfaces, and virtual reality.

At its core, computer graphics combines mathematics, algorithms, and programming to represent and display objects in 2D and 3D space.
Techniques such as rasterization, ray tracing, and shading are used to convert geometric data into realistic images. Rasterization is commonly
used in real-time rendering, like in video games, while ray tracing offers more photorealistic results by simulating the behavior of light.

Key concepts in computer graphics include modeling (creating the shape of objects), rendering (producing the final image), and animation
(making objects move over time). Tools such as OpenGL, DirectX, and modern game engines help developers create and display graphics
efficiently.

Computer graphics also relies heavily on knowledge of linear algebra, especially vectors and matrices, for transformations like scaling, rotation,
and translation. As technology advances, the field continues to grow, enabling more immersive and realistic digital experiences across various
industries.
