Warning: This calendar is tentative!
For the readings, FvD refers to sections in the required text (Computer
Graphics, Principles and Practice, 2e in C, by Foley, van Dam, et al.).
Readings marked in green italics are
required.(some seem to not show in green, but these are italized links).
Other readings are strongly recommended.Chapter and section numbers for
readings are inclusive (e.g. FvD 3-3.4 means read chapter 3 of Foley and
van Dam up to and including section 3.4).
Note: because of the delays at the bookstore, I have rearranged the calendar
so that there are no required Foley and van Dam readings for the first
2 weeks. Gamma and my Signal Processing Notes are both REQUIRED. Some
of the compositing readings are required.
