COMP768 (259) : Physically-Based Modeling, Simulation & Animation

This document provides information about the COMP768 Physically-Based Modeling, Simulation & Animation course taught by Professor Ming C. Lin at UNC Chapel Hill. The course focuses on modeling object movements using techniques from geometry, mechanics, and numerical computing. Students will learn algorithms for collision detection and contact modeling, particle dynamics, rigid body dynamics, fluid dynamics, and more. The goals are for students to gain knowledge of simulation methods and be able to apply techniques to research problems in fields like computer animation, virtual reality, medical simulation, and robotics. More details can be found on the course website.
