Ken what kind of Math did you take in Highschool?
- Does it matter weather I take Acadmic or Applied math in highschool? I've tried the Grade 9 Academic Math and didn't do too well.
- I didn't know they segregated math like that in high school. There are certainly areas of math that you'll never use for the rest of your life. However, you won't encounter much of that until college. You really shouldn't be skipping stuff in high school. If you want to write a 3D engine, you'll need to know algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. It would also be useful to learn vector math (dot and cross products).
- So Math skills like the y-intercept stuff isn't useful in a 3D Engine? and what about exponets?
