Texts

The textbook is:
Edward Angel, Interactive Computer Graphics, A Top-Down Approach Using OpenGL.

You also need to buy:
OpenGL Programming Guide: The Official Guide to Learning OpenGL, Version 1.4, Fourth Edition by Dave Shreiner, Mason Woo, Jackie Neider, Tom Davis, David Shreiner, OpenGL Architecture Review Board (ISBN: 0321173481).
Earlier editions are fine if you want to buy it used. If you can't get it used, try buying it on-line, you need it as soon as possible.

I will also assign readings from David Mount's lecture notes from the University of Maryland. DO NOT PRINT THESE OUT ON DEPARTMENT PRINTERS! These notes cover most of the material in the textbook so you may be able to do OK in the course without buying the textbook.
