Objective
You are able to apply mathematics in game and software development and programming.
You are able to calculate vectors and matrices.
Content
How to use vectors and matrices in game implementations?
How to present the solutions of equations of quantities in 2D and 3D space?
Course material
Electronic material as well as web material published on the course's Learn platform. Exercises and their model answers are also given to students on the course's Learn platform and / or Teams channel.
Study forms and methods
Participation in contact and / or remote learning according to the work schedule. The student completes the assignments, tasks and project work required in the course before the given deadlines and participates in the exam at the end of the course if it will be arranged.
Alternative methods of study must be agreed with the lecturer in charge before the beginning of the course.
A work integrated learning path is possible if you can develop your know-how on the topics mentioned in the course description. In this case you must contact the lecturer well before the course starts to determine if
- it's possible to use a work integrated learning path in your case
- what kind of evidence can you provide on your work-related know-how
- what parts of the course you may have to complete in normal contact learning
RDI and work-related cooperation
During the course students will program features for games and simulations that utilize mathematics. Where possible, the actual problems encountered in game programming and game companies will be addressed and solved using game mathematics.
Timing of exams and assignments
Exercises and assignments will be returned to the Learn platform by the deadline specified there.
Student workload
A total of 135h, of which about 70h is contact learning and 65h is independent work.
Evaluation scale
1-5
Assessment methods and criteria
Grading is based on the following:
- participation in contact learning
- completing course assignments
- possible project work
