Prof.s Ivanova and Wehrheim propose to develop a new undergraduate subject that will introduce students who are majoring in mathematics, the natural sciences, and engineering disciplines to the principles of visual communication, including aesthetics, design, and production of computer graphics, photographs, animations, and other visual media. In hands-on activities and assignments, the students will learn how to create still images and motions pictures in order to illustrate and explain concepts in mathematics, science, or engineering to audiences ranging from domain experts to the general public.
