Lecture Assignment 3

Due at the start of class, Thursday, January 24.

Please submit answers to these questions either as a hard copy (typeset or handwritten are OK) or by email to terescoj AT strose.edu by the start of class. Please use a clear subject line when submitting by email (e.g., CSC 112 Lecture Assignment 3, Joe Student). We will discuss these questions at the start of class, so no late submissions are accepted.

           (compose
            (translate 100 0 0)
            (scale 2 2 2)
            )
       )
      (add cube bluePlaster
           (compose
            (scale 2 2 2)
            (translate 100 0 0)
            )
      )

Examples

Mead class examples will all be placed on the wiki, indexed in the Class Examples Category. The links on each lecture page will take you to the example's wiki page. Each example will also be placed in a folder on the shared CS 112 folder you can mount from smb://winterstorm.strose.edu/cs112 from on campus.
