\Introduction to  perspective  transformation and  simple hidden  line
elimination.     Introduction  to   polyhedral  modeling  and   current
research in computer vision. 

Polyhedral and Planar Face 3-D Modeling.

\Memory  management   for  computer   graphics.
Polyhedron representation:
	topology,
	geometry,
	photometry
	and semantics
including Euler  relations, Eucleadean  Transformations,  Perspective
transformations General modeling techniques  as appplied to graphics:
prototype/instance,  store  or  compute  (procedural representation),
resolution limited model generation. 

Hidden Line Eliminators.
\Exhautive Study of Hidden Line  Eliminators: Warnock (recursive space
partitioning),  Watkins  (scan  line  oriented methods),  Face/Vertex
Methods,  Edge/Edge  methods,  Face  priority  methods,   combination
methods and hardware implemented methods. 

Photometric Modeling and the computation of shaded images.
Simulating   the  physics   of   image  formation:   Texture,
colorimetry,  light  models  for opaque  and  transparent,  matte and
reflective surfaces. 

Representation, Acquistion and Manipulation of "curved" 3-D objects.
\Patchs: Coons,  quadratic, cubic  (spline like),  parametric,
Lee,  and so on. Geometry  of curves and surfaces  in 3-D: curvature,
tensor notation, torsion.   Space  filling models: Cell,  Face, Edge,
Vertex modeling; honeycombs, polytopes  and lattices; recursive space
partitioning. 

Fancy Text Generation.
\Fonts,  Text justification,  PUB/XIP/XAP/POX  document  compilation,
halftoning,  page  packing, scaling,  footnoting,  index generation.  
Mathematical formula formating and  display. Automating the  standard
commercial conventions for book publication.
