Course aims
The objective of this course is to learn math and physics concepts related to game programming.
Brief description of the course
During the course we gonna go in depth into mathematics, where we view vectors, matrixes, quaternions and how to use dot product, cross product, inverse matrices and so on. By understanding mathematics we can apply it to physics laws of motion were we look at forces (like gravity and others) and impulses. Additionally we cover topics like particle physics, mass-aggregate physics, rigid-body physics, collision detection and contact physics.
Learning outcomes in the course
Upon completing the course the student:
- is ready to formulate equations for moving game objects, recognise collisions and build physics based games.
- is ready to formulate equations for moving game objects, recognise collisions and build physics based games.
