PHYS 326 - Motion,Biomechanics and Animation

Institution:

Indiana University-Fort Wayne

Subject:

Description:

The course will focus on Newtonian physics of motion and ultimately its application in biomechanics and how an understanding of physics applies to 3-D computer animations. In particular, motion will be explored to understand how to make animations that look and feel correct. Topics to be covered include Newton's three laws of motion, conservation of energy and momentum, and rotational dynamics. The course will investigate these phenomena through observation, experimentation, the use of 3-D graphics programs, and simulations.
