Summary
This engaging book presents the essential mathematics needed to describe， simulate， and render a 3D world。 Reflecting both academic and in-the-trenches practical experience， the authors teach you how to describe objects and their positions， orientations， and trajectories in 3D using mathematics。 The text provides an introduction to mathematics for game designers， including the fundamentals of coordinate spaces， vectors， and matrices。 It also covers orientation in three dimensions， calculus and dynamics， graphics， and parametric curves。

Surprisingly light and easy to read given the density and dryness of the subject matter。 I still refer to this text from time to time at work and the clean structure of the book makes it easy to do so。My only complaint （and it is a minor one） is that I wish it went a little bit more in depth about practical applications/performance especially in the gameplay/3C context。

A really good 3D math introduction with dad jokes included :PA must-read for game engine developers & computer graphics programmers。

It's a great book to start on this topic。 Maybe you can complement it with an OpenGL book。It has exercises in each chapter， they're very good to check progress。 It's a great book to start on this topic。 Maybe you can complement it with an OpenGL book。It has exercises in each chapter， they're very good to check progress。 。。。more

Most mathematics books are very dry， and almost appear to be written for the people who already understand the concepts。While not as complete or mathsy as a lot of the others I've read， this book goes to great lengths to demonstrate geometric interpretations， answering questions like， "What does a matrix 'look' like？"， "What does a coordinate space transformation 'look' like？" and things of that ilk -- tremendously useful。 This book helped me a great deal during university and gave me a much bet Most mathematics books are very dry， and almost appear to be written for the people who already understand the concepts。While not as complete or mathsy as a lot of the others I've read， this book goes to great lengths to demonstrate geometric interpretations， answering questions like， "What does a matrix 'look' like？"， "What does a coordinate space transformation 'look' like？" and things of that ilk -- tremendously useful。 This book helped me a great deal during university and gave me a much better understanding of the concepts。I'm not really a fan of the source code listings in the book， as they're plentiful and not particularly to my taste， but the rest of the book is great。 。。。more
