Foundations of Game Engine Development, Volume 1: Mathematics

Foundations of Game Engine Development, Volume 1: Mathematics is a book frequented by various readers with different backgrounds. While some readers found the book a must-have in game programming and an easy read for the basics, other readers thought that the book merely breezed through concepts and did not contextualize them to any game development scenario. The difference may be attributed to the book's coverage of basics, from linear algebra to 3d game engines, which is helpful for those in need of a refresher. Although the book covers most of the basics, some readers were hoping for more code to help them understand the math notations as is expected in a programmer's guide. One reader was quite disappointed with the lack of refund and accessibility. Nonetheless, some readers found the book a valuable tool in their career as game developers, sharing that the book taught them new things and deepened their understanding of things they already knew. Overall, the book is a good read for those who need a refresher of the basics and for those who want to gain a deeper understanding of linear algebra as it applies to game programming.
