Mathematics for game programming
Posted: Tue Sep 06, 2011 10:32 pm
If there is anything I've learned while browsing this forum, it's that math is extremely useful in game programming! Until checking out some of the game equations and algorithms I had no idea my math skills were so bad haha. So I went out and decided to brush up on math, I wanted to post some resources here for others that might feel they should learn more as well.
The first thing anyone should read about math, completely opened my mind:
www. maa. org/devlin/LockhartsLament.pdf
Trigonometry:

Linear Algebra:

Algorithms:
ocw. mit. edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-046j-introduction-to-algorithms-sma-5503-fall-2005/
General Mathematics:

projecteuler. net/
steve-yegge. blogspot. com/2006/03/math-for-programmers.html
Also a good book I keep hearing about is Concrete Mathematics: http://www.amazon.com/Concrete-Mathemat ... 0201558025
If I find some other good resources I'll update this. By the way, any way do we have url limits? I'm not spamming and I believe these are legitimately useful urls.
