CS 371 Lecture & Reading Schedule

"Before class" is the assigned reading, "After class" are handouts and notes I'm providing that summarize the lecture. You are responsible for all material that is not explicitly denoted "optional".

"RTR" refers to Akenine-Moller and Haines, Real-Time Rendering, Second Edition. "IL" refers to my unpublished textbook, which I'll be giving you chapters from to augment RTR.
