SUMMARY:The Mathematics of Beautiful Graphics
DESCRIPTION:Art and Math Seminar presents\n\nSpeaker: Steve Trettel\n\nAbs
 tract: Photorealistic computer-generated images are everywhere—from block
 buster films to video games to architectural visualization. Modern softwa
 re tends to hide the mathematics behind them\, but it's beautiful stuff: 
 differential geometry\, measure theory\, and statistics all play essentia
 l roles. In this talk\, we'll see how simple questions about light and co
 lor naturally lead to an infinite-dimensional problem with a curious recu
 rsive structure—to compute anything\, you seemingly need to have already 
 computed everything. The way out is to recast the problem as integration 
 over a space of light paths. Different visual phenomena—mirrors\, glass\,
  fog - correspond to different measures on this space\n\nhttp://next-to-u
