CS 348C Schedule
CS 348C - Modeling in Computer
Graphics
Fall quarter, 1995
Coordinator: Apostolos Lerios
Lectures and presentations
Unless otherwise stated, the course coordinator lectures every Tuesday
on geometric modeling. On Thursdays, students present papers on
specific topics chosen from the topics list.
The overheads and notes used by the coordinator are available in
gzip-compressed and uncompressed PostScript, in both
one-overhead-per-page and four-per-page formats; the psnup
utility, available in many platforms, may be used to make other
combinations of multiple overheads on a single page.
The overheads used by the guest lecturer are available as on-line
scanned images.
