This 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. Provides an intro to math for game designers and covers orientation in three dimensions, calculus and dynamics, graphics, and parametric curves.
