Course overview and goals
In this course and the course, 'Graphic Science and Computer Graphics 2', students learn various methods to express three-dimensional solid figures, and fundamental principle of computer graphics. After explanation by a lecture, they perform free hand drawing or practices with personal computers and then understand expression of three-dimensional solid figures and its application to engineering analyses. Especially in this course 2, students learn methods to express three-dimensional solid figures with with polyhedron or interpolating functions, coordinate transformation and light and shadow with solid figures.
Course description and aims
Students can understand various method to express three-dimensional solid figures and can apply them to the graphic processing such as coordinate transformation and light and shadow with solid figures.
Keywords

Study advice (preparation and review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
Textbook(s)
A textbook, 'Graphic Science and Computer Aided Graphic Processing', or several materials will be distributed via OCW-i. This textbook will be used also in 'Graphic Science and Computer Graphics 1'. Students should download them before class.
Reference books, course materials, etc.
Some reference books may be introduced in lectures.
Evaluation methods and criteria
Students' course scores are determined based on assignments (70%) and the final report (30%).

Other
(1)Due to the limitation of facilities, this course is divided into two classes (Class A and Class B), each of which accepts less than 170 students and is open in different day of the week.
(2)This course is composed of lectures and practices, students have to attend all classes.
(3)Students should prepare their own Note PC with Windows-OS and Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 including
Visual Basic software which is free software for computer graphics practices.
(4)Sample programs for computer graphics practices will be distributed in every lecture.
(5)Prof. Iwatsuki will correspond as for the inquiry about this course.
