3.00 Credits
Students will learn geometry concepts needed to understand computer graphics and to use intelligently the available software tools. They will learn how to fix the position of a pixel on the computer screen using the screen coordinate system, how to find the closest point to a given point, middle point of two given points, and the centroid of a set of points. The students will know how to describe the elementary geometrical shapes, rectangles, ovals, and polygons in two dimensions, and spheres and parallelepipeds in three dimensions. They will also be introduced to basic properties: center, area, surface area, and volume. The behavior of the graphic shapes under translation, rotation, reflection, and scaling will be explained. Students will learn how to draw shapes satisfying certain constraints, like making a picture the mirror image of another. Prerequisites: MATH105 and CISC/MATH120. 3 sem. hrs. 3 crs.
