One of the advantages of the Radiosity algorithm is that it is relatively simple to explain and implement. This makes it a useful algorithm for teaching students about global illumination algorithms. A typical direct illumination renderer already contains nearly all of the algorithms ([[perspective transform]]ations, [[texture mapping]], [[hidden surface removal]]) required to implement radiosity. A strong grasp of mathematics is not required to understand or implement this algorithm{{Citation needed|date=March 2011}}.
