ABSTRACT

Vectors and matrices are the most common entities manipulated in realtime applications. I assume you are familiar with the algebra and geometry of these. Although it is important to understand the abstract concepts one normally encounters in courses on linear or affine algebra, the focus here is on the concrete computational aspects and on the geometric relationships associated with these entities. We will work only with real-valued computations, so there is no need to have a data type or support for complex numbers.
