Math

Linear Algebra is essential for computer graphics. Here we describe some resources to help you get the basic intuitions. Either as a review, or if you’re learning it for the first time.

It always bugged me that math books made a big deal of the difference between points and vectors. They’re both just a list of numbers, right? In practice, yes, they are both lists of numbers. But getting an idea of what the difference is helps develop the intuition of coordinate system. To describe this, let me use an analogy/example: describing walking in a room. Assume that you know which way is north.
