January-April 2005, MW 9:30am-11am, in CICSR 104.
Instructor: Robert Bridson
Prerequisites: programming, vector calculus, linear algebra, basic differential equations, basic physics, computer graphics.
This course gives a practical introduction to the use of numerical simulation for animating passive natural phenomena, such as the motion and interaction of rigid bodies, cloth, smoke, water, etc.
You can always email me at rbridson@cs.ubc.ca, or phone my office (604-822-1993). My office is currently CICSR 189 but will move to the new CS2 annex during reading week in February; either drop by or email me to set up an appointment to be sure of seeing me.
I'm happy to help out with stuff, and also appreciate feedback on the course---if the pace is right, if you want to see some particular topic covered, etc.
There is also a newsgroup, ubc.courses.cpsc.533b, which I believe we can use for discussion.
