The issue is it’s hard to find a good simple explanation. If you search you’ll more often then not get either a bad explanation, one that doesn’t work for you personally but might for others, one that’s too mathy and assumed too much prior knowledge, etc…

Now-a-days maybe you can ask an LLM for something exactly at your level and anything you don’t get you can ask it that too. That wasn’t the case until recently and many still don’t use them

” that’s too mathy” I’m not really sure there is any remedy to the fact computer graphics is based on math.

I suck at math myself so can relate. But actually the math you need to learn to be effective at graphics is mostly about understanding _a very small subset_ of a bunch of concepts (such as how 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 matrices work) and one is set for life,

so I think it’s good to give the formal mathemathical explanation and then Gilbert Strang what it all means.
