Prerequisites
M003 Linear Algebra and Geometry I || M503 Linear Algebra and Geometry I || X015 Geometrie 2/II
Assignment task is to program a simple graphics application. Knowledge of C is advantegous as students can use prepared patterns in C/OpenGL and the evaluation of results is easy. When the student decides to implement the assignment in Pascal, he will have to provide all necessary conditions and environment to ensure an easy evaluation for teacher.
