2. Course Ideas Introductory material Interdisciplinary –Art, Computer Science, Math, Liberal Arts For all majors Prereq: Some programming, e.g., CSE110 Learn by doing –Build using computer, paper, other materials –Develop mathematical thinking through design –Some programming in Mathematica Make objects you will take to/from class New Course — I want your constant feedback

3. Topics Computers in design of sculpture –Freeform –Mathematical Computers in visualization Computers in fabrication Computers in “reverse engineering” Mathematical underpinnings Many hands-on activities! Some programming in Mathematica Sculptor case studies

4. Requirements Attend all classes Participate in discussion Make stuff in class Online Readings – no textbook exists Projects related to class ideas –individual or group Oral/web report on a sculptor or process Written report with final project
