Here are the .pdf files for the 1997 class notes for my Math428, Geometrical Computer Graphics. I'm sure you will appreciate the ease of reading .pdf on your generic webscaper. The mendacious date will redeem itself once I update the text to conform with the software packages for Irix, Linux and Windows in preparation.

Press right mouse button and pick one of these .pdf files

0Intro.pdf In place of an introduction to the course.

1Octa.pdf Animate an octahedron in RGB.

2Torus.pdf Animate a painted torus.

3Skel.pdf A template for real-time interactive computer animation in basiCglut.

4Snail.pdf An application of the illiSkel template to something less trivial than a torus.

5Affine.pdf Introduction to the affine geometry pipeline, the guts of OpenGL.

6Perspect.pdf Homogeneous coordinates and 3 dimensional projective space.

There are chapters on Quaternions, on Catmull-Rom splines, and on Hyperbolic Space yet to be placed on the web.

If you want to do it the old-fashioned way. you can download .dvi files for individual chapters of the class notes for Math 428, 1998.

Start up netscape.

Go to http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/~gfrancis/math428/

Read this page.

Press right mouse button and pick one of these .dvi files

0Intro.dvi < > 0Intro.ps

1Octa.dvi < > 1Octa.ps

2Torus.dvi < > 2Torus.ps

3Skel.dvi < > 3Skel.ps

4Snail.dvi < > 4Snail.ps

6Perspect.dvi < > 6Perspect.ps

with the RIGHT MOUSE button. For the first one you'll have to say where to put it in your own filespace. After that netscape guesses.

You can read a .dvi file with xdvi, for example.

The page numbers now match those of the paper notes. There will be additional chapters after 6 but here is the core of the course.
