No one is a complete beginner I suppose. If you did some geometry in school, maybe some basic algebra, if you know what a function is (and I think every programmer knows what a function is) - you're good to go.

Even if the book is called Geometry for Programmers, I was trying really hard to make it self-sufficient. E. g. if you want to get deep into fascinating stuff like NURBS, you need to know a little calculus. So there is a chapter on calculus. It is shallow by itself but it opens the door for power series, polynomial interpolation, and then Bezier, rational Bezier, and finally NURBS.

Just like that, before introducing homogeneous coordinates and projective matrices, I put a chapter on linear equations. In any other geometry book it would have been completely redundant, but it explains so much about 4 point transformations, I just had to put it there.

TL&DR I sure hope so! This was my intention and if the book isn't appropriate for a beginner, I failed miserably as an author.
