内容説明
Essential Mathematics for Games and Interactive Applications, 2nd edition presents the core mathematics necessary for sophisticated 3D graphics and interactive physical simulations. The book begins with linear algebra and matrix multiplication and expands on this foundation to cover such topics as color and lighting, interpolation, animation and basic game physics. Essential Mathematics focuses on the issues of 3D game development important to programmers and includes optimization guidance throughout.
The new edition Windows code will now use Visual Studio.NET. There will also be DirectX support provided, along with OpenGL - due to its cross-platform nature. Programmers will find more concrete examples included in this edition, as well as additional information on tuning, optimization and robustness.
The book has a companion CD-ROM with exercises and a test bank for the academic secondary market, and for main market: code examples built around a shared code base, including a math library covering all the topics presented in the book, a core vector/matrix math engine, and libraries to support basic 3D rendering and interaction.
--Simple game engine with math, rendering, and input libraries on the CD-ROM, so that game developers can immediately start applying the techniques they learn in a basic codebase.
--Exercises on the CD-ROM for educators to use for course material
--Code samples shown throughout the book for real-world application

見るからに立派な本で、しかもMorgan Kaufmannの定評あるシリーズとくれば、思わず買ってしまいたくなる書物ですが、厚い割には内容としては初学者用の域を出ていません。
大きく４部に分かれ、それぞれmathematics、rendering、animation、simulation、と必要な全ての題材を揃えてはいるのですが、中級者には物足りず、かといって初学者には厚すぎる、という多少とも中途半端な印象は否めません。他のMorgan Kaufmannの書籍を適宜引用しているのも（特にEberlyの本）、本書の完結性に難を持たせます。
勿論良い書物には違いないのですが、既にLengyelなどの良書がありますので、多少とも辛い評にならざるを得ません。本書が同分野で初めての書物であれば、星５つで問題ないと思います。

One of the best game math books
2005/4/29
形式:ハードカバー
If only every topic in game and graphics programming were covered as well as math. Over the past several years, a number of exceptionally good books covering math for game and graphics programming have been released, and I've had the opportunity to review most of them. Although, not surprisingly, there is some overlap between them all, each covers unique material and presents information in an original way so that collectively, the books provide an impressive body of work.
Essential Mathematics stands out as one of the best books in the pack, especially in regards to its coverage of the math behind low-level rendering techniques.
The book is broken into 4 parts. The first part, Core Mathematics, covers vectors and matrices, transformations, and number representation. This part will be useful to anyone doing 3D graphics.
Part II, Rendering, covers topics such as lighting and shading, texturing, projection, and rasterization. This part was of particular interest to me because I've been working on a commercial renderer, but it should also be useful to those who want a better understanding of what graphics engines do under the hood.
Part III, Animation, covers curves (very in depth) and representation of orientations (Euler vs. axis-angle vs. quaternions). Finally, Part IV, Simulation, covers intersection testing and rigid body dynamics. There are also a couple of appendices to help you brush up on trig and calculus, if needed.
The book includes many C++ code samples and demos, including a handy math library and a simple rendering/game engine using OpenGL and GLUT. The authors are to be commended for their writing style as well. It's very easy for a book of this nature to get bogged down in an extremely heavy academic tone, but this book manages to avoid that, making for a remarkably easy read.
I'm glad I don't have to choose just one game math book, but if I did, this would probably be the one I'd pick.

A solid guide to beginner and expert alike
2009/1/14
形式:ハードカバー
I have read many math books for video games and there are two aspects of this book I really like. The first is the book is encyclopedic and terms of the amount of information that it covers. The second reason that I like this book is that it clearly explains where the equations come from not just what the equations are.

Clear, Comprehensive, and Educational.
2004/5/8
形式:ハードカバー
The strength of this book lies in its author's ability to make complex subjects accessible to programmers of various levels. The book covers all necessary subjects of 3D development and algorithmic motion, while providing primers in the relevant Math and Trigonometry. The writing is clear, and the examples combine notation in Math, Pseudo Code, and Open-GL implementation. I could see various uses for this book; from reference guide to required course reading. It explains the most fundamental subjects of Vectors and Matrices, and later capitalizes on this knowledge towards subjects that every professional in the field should know. To make sure the book is right for you, I suggest reading the Introduction, which portrays the book accurately and proceeds to recommend alternative and additional resources.
