Design and construction of reusable software modules for real-time computer simulation of physical systems in graphical virtual worlds. Rigid body kinematics and dynamics, perspective transformations and wire-frame graphical models. Time domain and transform domain analysis of linearized dynamic systems.
Laboratory is concerned with development and testing of software.
