Information about the final project, followed by a guest lecture covering fractal trees, which combine the strengths of B-trees and append-to-file. Analysis of search and insert in a simplified fractal tree.

Students vote on which ray-tracer images are accurate enough to be included in the competition, and these entries are tested against each other for speed. Students also provide feedback on the course.

Primer on ray tracing techniques, given to prepare students for the final project. Includes some ray tracing background and a code overview covering classes and high-level execution.
