12. C.A. R. Hoare said You can't teach beginning programmers top-down design because they don't know which way is up. If students do not know the effect of radiosity, they will not be able to recognize if their implementations are correct and of good quality. Thus, knowing the effects must be the first step.
13. Note that the meaning of "geometry" here is very different from and has a much wider coverage than that of Cunningham's. We emphasize the development of understanding and skills of converting a geometric object into various representations, implementation of algorithms for each representation, and design activities.
