I don't know... You don't need to be a math god at all. It's basic linear alg. I guess lin alg isn't required in CS?

- sesqu 16y agoIt's basic university math, yes. But very few people are currently taking basic linear algebra, so it's nice to have better documentation.
- jacobolus 16y agoIt’d be nice to have better docs, but it’s not especially in scope for browser docs. Instead, someone should point to some good basic resources about linear algebra: matrix math, homogeneous coordinates, eigenvectors and eigenvalues, etc. This particular blog post doesn’t really say much.
- nix 16y agoHomogeneous coordinates are not linear algebra. Translation is simple, but few people actually understand how the perspective transformation works - it's a convenient hack but if you try to figure it out from scratch you may be surprised by what's going on.
