Opening the black box of mathematics for CG: SIGGRAPH ASIA 2021 course notes

Abstract

Mathematics is recognized as common basis for CG technology, but sometimes used as a black box in a CG software tool. We expect better understanding of maths will conduce to not only better CG tools, but also innovative ideas for a future production pipeline. The goal of this course is to pull the trigger for the graphics people to know more about usefulness and fun of the maths behind the scenes.
