Product Description

Book Description

3D Math Primer for Graphics and Game Development covers fundamental 3D math concepts that are especially useful for computer game developers and programmers. The authors discuss the mathematical theory in detail and then provide the geometric interpretation necessary to make 3D math intuitive. Working C++ classes illustrate how to put the techniques into practice, and exercises at the end of each chapter help reinforce the concepts. This book explains basic concepts such as vectors, coordinate spaces, matrices, transformations, Euler angles, homogenous coordinates, geometric primitives, intersection tests, and triangle meshes. It discusses orientation in 3D, including thorough coverage of quaternions and a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of different representation techniques. The text describes working C++ classes for mathematical and geometric entities and several different matrix classes, each tailored to specific geometric tasks. Also included are complete derivations for all the primitive transformation matrices.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely wonderful book for beginners, Mar 28 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: 3D Math Primer For Graphics And Game Development (Paperback)

This was an absolutely wonderful book for learning the maths. I've read a dozen other books on the subject which assume some understanding of the math, which makes trying to teach to this crowd quite redundant. Paired up with Physics for Game Developers by Bourg, this is a slick combination for anyone without some whack degree in mathematics.
