Maths Cheat Sheet

- Matrix multiplication is done by multiplying the rows of the first matrix with the columns of the second matrix. - Vectors can be added by completing the triangle formed by their components. - Translation, scaling, and rotation transformations are represented by matrices. - Unit vectors have a length of 1 and represent direction. - The dot product of vectors returns a scalar value that can be used to calculate the angle between vectors. - The cross product of vectors produces a vector perpendicular to the plane of the two original vectors.

Cross Product of 2 Vectors

Matrix Determinant
For a 2x2 or 3x3 matrix use the Rule of Sarrus; add products of
top-left to bottom-right diagonals, subtract products of opposite
diagonals.

d e f
Its determinant |M | is:
M =
g h i
|M | = aei + bf g + cdh ceg bdi af h
For 4x4 use Laplace Expansion; each top-row value * the 3x3 matrix
made of all other rows and columns:
|M | = aM1 bM2 + cM3 dM4

Matrix Transpose
Flip matrix over its main diagonal. In special case of orthonormal
xyz matrix then inverse is the transpose. Can use to switch
between
" row-major
# and column-major
"
# matrices.

Matrix Inverse
Use an inverse matrix to reverse its transformation, or to
transform relative to another object.
M M 1 = I Where I is the identity matrix.
If the determinant of a matrix is 0, then there is no inverse. The
inverse can be found by multiplying the determinant with a large
matrix of cofactors. For the long formula see
http://www.cg.info.hiroshima-cu.ac.jp/~miyazaki/

Use the transpose of an inverse model matrix to transform
normals: n0 = n(M 1 )T
