Programmers coming from art, design, filmmaking, music, writing, education, or business fields frequently have little background in the mathematics and physics. Although today's software programs make it easier to become proficient at programming without having a solid foundation in these disciplines, sooner or later all programmers and developers will run into problems that they will need mathematics or physics to solve. This book provides a simple but thorough grounding in the mathematics and physics topics that programmers need to know to write programs, using a non-language specific approach. Each chapter includes exercise sets for additional practice of the techniques learned, or for use as a textbook. The companion CD-ROM provides demo examples of the mathematical and physical principles discussed in the book, with source code in several different languages (C++, Lingo, and Java).

Exactly what I needed

Format:Taschenbuch
I took physics, linear algebra, and calculus when I was in college.
Unfortunately, upon getting my IT job developing business applications, I did not have much use for them and when I became interested in game development, I realized that I had forgotten a great deal of information that I learned while I was in school.
I did have my linear algebra and calculus text book, but I misplaced (or sold) my physics book. I first looked online for quick tutorials, but a lot of tutorials left a lot to be desired.
This book briefly reviews the necessary basics which quickly returned to me and later applies them 2d and 3d scenarios.
I especially like the language agnostic approach the author has taken with the pseudocode in the book. The introduction states that no knowledge is assumed from the reader as each following chapter builds on a previous one. While, so far that statement has held true, I do wonder if a reader with absolutely no knowledge linear algebra, trig, calculus, and physics will fully grasp what the author is saying. Nevertheless, I do not see that as a negative since the book would be prohibitively huge it were anymore detailed.
The glossary is a nice inclusion and so far has been thorough enough to find everything what I was looking for.
I am certainly glad that I lost my physics book. Otherwise, I would not have this fine book.

it does what it says on the can! basically you can't argue with the book, you'll enjoy reading it, it could be improved in some places but I got through the full book and it was refreshing, brushing up on some things I've not done in a while :)

This is not a book to read in a weekend, is a technical literature, but succeeds in capturing the need for advanced programdores inicantes and even games.
I recommend traveling the fabulous underworld of these sciences are physics and mathematics.
