Master the geometry behind CAD, game engines, GIS, and more! Geometry for Programmers is a hands-on book teaching you the maths behind the tools and libraries to create simulations, 3D prints, and other models in the physical world.

Ideal for developers writing code using CAD libraries, game engines, or rendering tools, the textbook guides you through the math behind graphics and modelling tools using relevant examples and clear explanations that don't require advanced mathematical knowledge. You will learn how mastering manual geometry can help you avoid code layering and repetition and even how to drive down cloud hosting costs by creating more efficient application runtimes.

Key features include:



Speak the language of applied geometry
Compose geometric transformations economically
Craft custom splines for efficient curves and surface generation
Pick and implement the right geometric transformations
Confidently use important algorithms that operate on triangle meshes, distance functions, and voxels

Filled with charts, illustrations, and complex equations rendered as simple Python code, this book unlocks geometry in a way you can apply it to your daily work.

About the technology Geometry is the core of game engines, computer-aided design, image-processing libraries, GIS, and much more. Understanding the mathematical underpinnings of tools and libraries empowers you to develop more efficient programming strategies. This unique guide gives you control over the geometry you need to deliver faster, cleaner results— and even build your own geometry tools!
