Prerequisites

The following documents, used as material in our second year Computer Science course, can be used as a guide for preparing for the course. The Computer Graphics syllabus deals with the basics of 2D and 3D computer graphics using OpenGL. The skeleton code for the assignments can be found in the accompanying appendix.

• in2905-I Computer Graphics syllabus
