surprisingly, some people use it to do anki flashcards. you can hold it in 1 hand, convenient if you're on a treadmill

see that's where you're going wrong. you need to be using arch in order to find a partner

for a broad overview on graphics/rendering, we have this truly beautiful video by branch education, beautiful to the point where i can't even believe this kind of content is free.

i personally can't remember anything specific regarding your examples, but there are probably papers on specific problems you're looking to solve. i might be able to find something if you can manage to be more specific

a few more relevant fields of math are

- "game theory" which studies strategic interactions and evolves into things like economics
- probability and statistics, which deal with anything that can be random

ah, that's the kind of math you were referring to. the two resources i linked mostly cover the pure math side of things, so you can perform things like physics, manipulating a camera etc.

for the pure math side of things, you can check out 3blue1brown's video series on linear algebra. they have beautiful animations and explanations. i recommend watching this as soon as you understand the way that linear algebra is applied in games so you have context

freya holmer's stuff is really good. her series on youtube literally called "math for game devs" should be exactly what you're looking for! she covers both topics.

the most important places to start in the context of game dev are trigonometry and linear algebra.

trigonometry is required every time you need to deal with angles (like rotations). linear algebra deals with the math to work in 2d/3d space.
