Goal(s)
The course deals with scientific visualization that uses computer-generated images to help scientists to extract knowledge and understanding from experimental or simulated data (application fields range from geology and meteorology to aeronautic and medicine). Visualization, representation and modeling of very large, three dimensional (in domain), scattered data sets are the main issues of this course.
