Looks great, any chance there’s gamepad support?

Why don’t they precompile them, just wondering?

I’d love to see this book go back in print at an affordable price, but if not, I’m glad the author has maintained a copy online for free along with supplemental resources. Check out gamemath.com if you’re interested.

The author does discourage reading the first edition which is 20+ years old, although many of the sections are near identical, particularly in the first few chapters. The second half diverges more, for instance with the inclusion of a kinematics section in the 2nd edition.

You can read this book online for free, or find a used copy of the second edition for a fairly steep price, or find a used copy of the first edition for cheap.

In terms of topics, the first several chapter I would consider core topics for game programming. Later sections may be more relevant if you’re interested in low level concepts, such as those relating to engines or graphics API’s.

Bridging this gap is critical for understanding where techniques can be applied in games and how to actually implement them. This book does an excellent job presenting both perspectives, garnering it my verdict as easiest to understand game math text.

Often folks find it hard to approach math questions from both an intuitive (imagine the problem with respect to a physical world or visually on a graph) and formal (understand equations, definitions, and how results are derived from manipulations) viewpoint.

Reference texts are increasingly obsolete, so what I’m looking for from a physical book is something more guided and conceptual. This book is fills that gap to the best extent I’ve seen.

This is one of 3 game math textbooks in my collection, including the often recommended Mathematics for 3D Game Programming and Computer Graphics. The other two, the latter especially, I found to be formal and densely written, in a style lending more towards reference than understandability.
