Mathematical Foundations of Computer Graphics and Vision
This course will provide in-depth coverage of some fundamental mathematical tools
that are widely used in current state of the art techniques in computer graphics
and vision. For each covered topic we will showcase some important related applications.
The course is designed in a bottom up fashion by first presenting the theory behind each
covered topic and then by showing how these mathematical tools are applied to
various cutting edge graphics and vision problems.

Image Synthesis
In the class we will discuss advanced computer graphics techniques for realistic image synthesis.
The goal of the course is to get a broader knowledge of available rendering algorithms and an
in-depth understanding of advanced topics in rendering. Students will learn about and implement
a variety of core rendering algorithms including rasterization, ray tracing, and micro-polygon
rendering. We will then build upon this foundation and explore techniques for simulating global
illumination, participating media, precomputed radiance transfer, and material models including
BRDFs and BSSRDFs.
