Zbynek Dusatko

Hello, welcome to my student page. My goal is to become a game developer and do some exciting creative work. I would like to take part in redefining of what the gaming is for. I believe that gaming has tremendous possibilities as a teaching or interactive tool. Wandering through virtual 3D worlds with real physics and meeting characters simulating a real animal or human behavior is the fast, intensive, and enjoyable way to learn or experience things that are not otherwise accessible in real life.

My Current Classes - Summer 2009

  1. MATH2250-1 Differential Equations and Linear Algebra
    Instructor: Sarah N. Kitchen
    Email: snkitchen@gmail.com
    Texts: Differential Equations & Linear Algebra (3rd Ed.), by C.Henry Edwards & David E. Penney. Also required: U. of Utah Custom Supplement, ISBN: 978-0-558-15083-9.

    This is a hybrid course which teaches the allied subjects of linear algebra and differential equations. These topics underpin the mathematics required for most students in the Colleges of Science, Engineering, Mines & Earth Science. The material of the course will introduce differential equations, and how they are used to model problems arising in engineering and science. Linear algebra is introduced as a tool for analyzing systems of differential equations, as well as standard linear equations. Computer projects will be assigned to enhance the material.

  2. 3710 Film Production I
    Instructor: Steven Pecchia-Bekkum
    Email: stp24960@utah.edu

Additionally, aspects of the creative "pipeline" of filmmaking will be discussed including script writing, pre production, continuity, and directing actors. Each student will be expected to write, story board, cast, find locations, shoot and edit each of their assignments. No prior experience with cameras, lighting or editing systems is required or expected.

Hobbies

Photographing, web album; favorite sci-fi book authors Lem, Strugatsky, Heinlein, Asimov; movies The Reader, Solaris, Angel-A, Once; web design, my portfolio; PC games, I like the graphics in Bioshock, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and Timeshift; cooking, this Czech specialty Gulash is good, I'd just replace meat with tofu though. Find out about the Czech Republic.
