Thanks for taking the time to write about the book. As someone who had a hard time applying their school-taught knowledge about vectors and matrices when trying to understand OpenGL and Direct3D back in the early days ("why isn’t there a proper 'camera' object I can use") I really appreciate when people make an effort to offer alternative POVs to get deeper into topics they might not be familiar with.

Sometimes the right kind of intuition is all it needs to make it click. Sometimes it's that tiny bit of knowledge one is missing to get the whole picture and suddenly everything makes sense.

(Btw I think we might have met ages ago at a conference or two in Cologne)
