Abstract
It is important to expose students to the beauty and usefulness of mathematics. Since computer graphics are familiar to most students due to video games and movies, they make a great source for motivating topics in mathematics. This activity shows students an application of solving quadratic equations to computing the line of sight to spherical objects in computer graphics.
