Calendar and schedule for CS559.

With readings, "Shirley X" means chapter X from Fundamentals of Computer Graphics, "OGL X" means chapter X from the OpenGL programmers Guide. Other words (such as someone's name) mean a paper from the reader.

The readings are required. The lectures may cover the same material, but usually with a different presentation. Hopefully seeing things two ways will make it easier for you.

The assignments (and projects) are always due on Tuesdays. Yes, there is a programming assignment due the day of the mid-term exam.
