Detail

Course Summary

The theme of this research seminar is simulation of natural system by computer. We mainly use the programming language Processing to simulate natural system and study visual expressions based on mathematical and physical principles. In the spring term, we will focus on the basics of programming, mathematics and physics that are essential in this field. We will run a reading seminar where every student reads, writes and contributes to the discussion. The topics include geometry of vectors, Newtonian mechanics, fractal, autonomous agent, complex system, cellular automaton, genetic algorithms, quasi-periodic tiling (subject to change, depending on students' background and interests). We also consider potential application to generative arts. If time permits, we will invite a few guest speakers.
