HW1

(You are encouraged to work with others on written HW)

1. Practice Problems

• Refresh your memory on linear algebra.
• (Reading: Shirley - Fundamentals of Computer Graphics - Ch 2.4-2.4.4, Ch 5.2-5.2.2). Fundamentals of Computer Graphics -- Peter Shirley.pdf Download Fundamentals of Computer Graphics -- Peter Shirley.pdf
• Do the sample problems in this file:
  • Files:Homeworks:CSE160_HW1_LinearAlgebra.pdf - CSE160_HW1_LinearAlgebra.pdf Download CSE160_HW1_LinearAlgebra.pdf

2. WebGL Textbook

• Read Ch1 and Ch2 (9-16 pages).
• Answer the questions in this file:
  • CSE160_HW1_Reading.pdf

3. Evaluate ChatGPT (or other LLM you prefer) on the Homework. Try each problem using the LLM. Does it answer correctly or not? Just add a sentence to comment about this to each problem in your HW writeup. 

4. Pick one problem that ChatGPT makes trivially easy and design a new HW problem that forces the student to think about the same topic at the same level of difficulty, but which ChatGPT can no longer answer. Include in your response: the original problem, what ChatGPT gives for the original problem, your new problem, and what ChatGPT gives for the new problem. 

5. Create and submit a PDF

• Take your work from part 1 - 4 and create a single PDF for submission. It is acceptable to have handwritten HW. Just use your phone and take a picture of it. However you need to turn complete assignment into a single PDF file for submission.
