Go to course ↗

A video lecture series by Justin Solomon covering geometric algorithms for computer graphics and geometry processing, including linear algebra review and concepts behind curves such as Bezier curves and NURBS. The lectures were made for MIT students.

Commenters call it high-level but clear, with a gentle linear algebra start leading to tractable geometry concepts.

    Good thread! As many have voiced, the math is necessary for mastery. I can recommend Justin Solomon's lectures. Target audience is MIT students. High-level, but rather clear. Starts with a gentle linear algebra review and then into very tractable concepts behind Bezier curves, NURBS, etc.
