The textbook Analytic Combinatorics by Philippe Flajolet and Robert Sedgewick enables precise quantitative predictions of the properties of large combinatorial structures.
This course is intended to introduce the algorithmic foundations of procedural modeling, texturing and animation techniques, and to offer hands-on experience designing and implementing “visual recipes” in original graphics projects by applying these methods. Students should have a strong interest in both the creative and technical aspects of computer graphics, as well as a solid programming background.
This course covers the design and analysis of randomized algorithms and, more generally, applications of randomness in computing. You will learn fundamental tools from probability and see many applications of randomness in computing.
