Abstract:
The dynamics of cloth, fibers, fluids, and solids as well as collision scenarios is typically described by stiff differential equations. This course provides a computational introduction to advanced concepts from classical mechanics enabling the participant to develop highly accurate and efficient algorithms for such kind of phenomena.
Additional Information:
Level: Intermediate
Prerequisites: We assume basic knowledge in differential and integral calculus (like the chain rule and partial integration) as well as in Newtonian mechanics (like Newton’s second axiom and the concept of forces, momentum, energy). The ability to read matrix/vector expressions is required but no previous experience with higher-dimensional calculus.
Presentation Language: English
Intended Audience: Graphics developers and researches who want to realize accurate and efficient algorithms for animation and simulation but may have limited experience with the underlying physical concepts.
