Study Guide

Objective

The main objective of the course is to enhance mathematical knowledge and skills of the first year’s studies from the point of view of game programming. The student will understand mathematical principles in image formation (—> computer graphics), describing motion and collision of objects, and he or she will be able to apply them on a computer. In addition to these the student will learn fundamentals of logical structures and graph theory.

Content

1) Concepts of matrix and vector with applications
2) Projections in practice
3) 2D and 3D matrix transforms
4) Fundamentals of logic and graph theory

Prerequisites

First year studies (Orientation to information and communication technology) or comparable knowledge.
