Depends on what part of the animations you're doing. SVD is a technique you'll do on Transformation matrices to find certain things out. I'm not saying the OP's contention that SVD is fantastically useful is that true. I am saying understanding matrix math down to the point of SVD and being able to do it when you spend much of your day doing transforms is useful for animation beyond setting EaseInOut and going about your day.
