Abstract
We document the challenge of designing a technical computer graphics course for undergraduate students who have taken only a single undergraduate programming course and have not yet had to take any mathematics beyond high school. This course is the introduction to a major in computer graphics within a Bachelor of Science degree. We needed an introduction to the rigour of computer graphics that would attract students to continue with the major, that would provide a useful foundation for that major, and that could be attempted with minimal prerequisites.
