Applications of geometric computing to computer graphics, computer vision, geometric modeling, computer-aided design, robotics, and other areas will be discussed. No textbook is required. You will be graded on the percentage of these points you accumulate. Grading will be based approximately on the scale shown in the table below, but we will grade each section of this course separately and may make adjustments to the scale as necessary for each section. No assignment-specific assistance should be given nor received on any programming assignment.
Any outside help concerning the use of the computer facilities is acceptable.
You may discuss the meaning or intent of an assignment, but not ways to program it. All work turned in must be completely your own. Any and all use of programs from other texts or references must be explicitly stated as part of program documentation. In general, any acts of plagiarism will result in a failing grade for the course along with the submission of a report to the Dean of Students. See the hand-out on Computer Science Policy on Cheating for more details.
