Oes nyone know any good books for math and game programming?

I'm gunna be a game programmer and will be starting college soon. I have to prepare this stuff. I'm doing C++ Since most companies only hire people with C++ expierience,





I'm looking for math primer books. And some programmers guide for the retarded like people who do't know anything about programming.

Oes nyone know any good books for math and game programming?
You want books such as "Physics for Game Developers" by David Bourq for the math. See link.





But if you don't know programming, you've going to need a lot more than one book to learn it.
Reply:David Eberly is the man on writing books about these subjects, although I'll warn you he goes into incredible detail and often shows the best solutions. He'll assume you know a lot going in, but each book usually provides an adequate introduction to the basic concepts.





For the easier stuff, maybe some more recent books by Andre LaMothe might help. His stuff is written for the uninformed audience and he makes it easier to understand while providing good information.
Reply:go to gamedev.net and check their books section.





also, they have many online tutorials, so maybe you don't need to buy a book at all. nehe.gamedev.net is also great. and they have good forums with helpful coders.
