1: Mathematics and Physics for Coding Motion and Interactivity
in Web Graphics
Sunday, Half Day
8:30 am - 12:15 pm
CAL/Room 214 CD
Introduction to the mathematical, kinematics, and physics
concepts used to develop interactive games and graphics
for the Web, and how they can be applied. Attendees immediately
learn how to apply these concepts in a hands-on environment.
Prerequisites
Beginning to intermediate programming experience with
Macromedia Flash and ActionScript, the scripting language
within Flash, which is based on the ECMA-262 standard.
Basic familiarity with algebra, trigonometry, and physics
is beneficial.
Topics
Theoretical explanations of key concepts within mathematics
(linear algebra, trigonometric identities, applications
of trigonometry, and vector algebra) and physics (displacement,
speed, velocity, acceleration, kinematics equations, and
applying kinematics).
