Computer Graphics and Applications of Matrix Methods: Three Dimensional Computer Graphics and Projections (UMAP)

In this unit, matrix concepts are used to create pictures on a display device that is controlled by a computer program. Students identify the transformation in two dimensional space affected by multiplying homogeneous coordinates by a matrix, distinguish among several types of projections and their transforming matrices, construct matrices for rotation and translation of figures in space.
