Computer Graphics

Level: fourth semester, computer science department, University of Innsbruck

Volume: Proseminars: 14h

Learning Outcome: Students can understand the elementary methods of computer graphics. The underlying theory will be discussed that will allow for the modelling of three-dimensional scenes, for implementation in software, and for final display in real-time on the screen.

Contents: 3D graphics programming; rasterization; transformations; lighting; texturing; anti-aliasing; hardware.

Methodology of academic work

Level: first semester, first year mathematics and informatics departments, University of Strasbourg

Volume: TP: 4h Course: 5h (the part which I assured)

Description: In this section of course the students are introduced for the first time to the linux operating system, the shell, the terminal, the basic commands for file and folders manipulation. They are also introduced to the university pedagogical platform. The 5 hours of course the word "algorithm" is introduced, with the complexity and the Big O notions. Examples are given on different sort algorithms, and the students are asked to write their first academic scientific report to compare 2 algorithms.

Software development techniques

Level: first semester, second year, informatics department, University of Strasbourg

Volume: TP: 16h - Course: 14h

Description: This course presents the basic techniques for developing software, it allows the students to familiarize with the software development tools. It explains the four stages mechanism of compiling a C program (preprocessing, compilation, assembly, linking), debugging techniques, memory handling, execution mechanism (stack and heap), etc. It explains who to structure a project in multiple files, and the interest of code separation and how to compile them (makefile). It introduce advanced aspects in the makefile (variables, implicit compilation rules, macro, etc.). This course tackles as well some complementary programming issues in C like variables scopes, advanced pointers to variables and functions, etc. In the practical section, students familiarize with software versioning and revision control systems (svn and/or git), with debuggers (gdb), memory test (valgrind), development environment (Qt Creator). In addition to a medium-size C project over four stages.
