In this class the successful student will learn how to use a number of computer graphic techniques to visualize data. Programming projects using postscript, tk, and vtk and a project of the students choice will be the only graded assignments. (No knowledge of any particular programming language is assumed, although some programming experience will be required.)
Also we will discuss and demo many other visualization techniques and programs. From gnuplot to IDL, matlab to mathematica, VRML to java and many points in between.
