Technical Mathematics with Programming

Precalculus reframed through computer graphics: instead of working problems on paper, you implement the math by drawing things on screen with OpenGL and GLUT, so a line equation becomes collision detection, a quadratic becomes projectile motion, and a matrix becomes a 2D transformation. Expect weekly C/OpenGL exercises, two homeworks, a midterm, a final, and a performance grade tied to your hands-on work in lab. It's a spring-semester foundation for the graphics, game, and simulation courses later in the CTIS track — the point is to make sure you can both do the algebra and turn it into code that moves pixels.
