Miscellaneous.

Textbook:
Mason Woo, OpenGL Programming Guide ( called "The red book" ).
This book has appeared in many editions, corresponding to the various versions of OpenGL.
The 2. edition corresponding to version 1.1 ( 1997 ) is available on-line, and it is probebly sufficient for the course.
The 3. edition, which is the one I ( still ) use, corresponds to version 1.2 ( 1999 ).
The newest, I know of, is 5. edition, which includes OpenGL extensions for 'shader languages' i.e. languages for programming the modern graphics boards.
The pictures and the source code for the programs in "The red book" are available here

These notes contain the mathematics behind two ( idealized ) physical systems, both useful for animation. An elastic surface, and a spring-mass system.
