Assignments involve both analytic problems as well as implementation of algorithms. You are expected to be a competent programmer in C or C++ in this course. Late assignments will be penalized 20% per day. Plagiarism is a serious academic offense; the work submitted should be your own. If you have exchanged ideas with a fellow student and thus have answers which might be falsely construed as being plagiarised, you should state this.
Assignment 3 can optionally be replaced by a small project. This is an opportunity to implement a graphics algorithm or application of your own choosing, or, alternatively, to gain experience in producing 3D images and animations. Descriptions of suggested projects will be provided online.
