There is no textbook for the course because it is difficult to find a text that matches the material we cover in the course. What you need to know is what is covered by the lectures. It is good to have a textbook as a reference, and there are several options as described below.
An important reference would be for OpenGL programming.

Course material

• Edward Angel, Dave Shreiner, Interactive Computer Graphics: A Top-Down Approach with Shader-Based OpenGL, Pearson Education, 6th edition (Hard to find).
• Previous version of the same book can also be used: Edward Angel, Interactive Computer Graphics. A Top-Down Approach with OpenGL. Addison-Wesley, third, fourth or fifth edition.
• The new 7th Edition, with WebGL, is still applicable to the course, since we do not focus on the version of OpenGL used, but on the algorithms of Computer Graphics, which are still appropriate in the 7th Edition. The OpenGL in the 6th Edition is useful if available.
• An alternative textbook is Fundamentals of Computer Graphics by Steve Marschner, Peter Shirley
• An alternative reference/text is The Graphics Codex (online). A comparison to other good Graphics texts is here. A free version is now available through Nvidia here.
• A free on-line alternative textbook is Physically Based Rendering (PBRT). PBRT describes everything needed for Path Tracing, so much more advanced than EDAF80, but the basics are the same. See the comparison above comparing it to other textbooks.
