Robert E. Cook Honors College Summer Program

The Robert E. Cook Honors College Summer Program recruits talented high school students to participate in one-week workshops at IUP each summer. During the summers of 1996 1997, the math department ran a workshop entitled "Building Virtual Worlds for the Internet," taught by Dan Burkett. The students learned the mathematics behind 3-dimensional coordinate systems, translations, rotations, scalings and shears. Then they learned the VRML programming language and developed scenes for use with VRML browsers. To view the scenes you will either need the appropriate plug-in, or you will need to download the file and view with a VRML browser.
