Course Topics

This seminar covers advanced topics in scientific visualization and information visualization.

Goals

Course Setup

Each student presents one paper to the class and leads a discussion about the paper and related topics. All students read the papers and participate in the discussion.

Prerequisites

The course "Scientific Visualization" (251-0564-00L) is recommended.
