CS510: Computer Graphics - Course Prerequisites

The prerequisite for this course is CS410, Introduction to Computer Graphics. You should be able to work easily with concepts from CS410 such as 3D homogeneous coordinate transformations, complex models, 3D viewing and clipping, polygon filling, perspective viewing, and Bezier and B-Spline curves. If, instead of CS410, you have taken a similar course at another university (or if it's been a while since you took CS410), you may wish to obtain a copy of the CS410 course notes to review any material which may have been covered differently or not covered in your graphics course. You may be able to borrow the notes from another student. If you need a copy of the notes, let the instructor know. Additional copies can be made, which you would purchase at the Research Services Print Shop in 104 USC for a cost of about four dollars. If you have not taken CS410 or the equivalent, you will probably have considerable difficulty in this course. I strongly recommend that you take CS410 first. It is offered this semester at the same times and days as CS510.
