$Three Dimensional Shapes and Shading$

Three dimensional objects are not easy to represent on a 2D surface such as a page or screen. In this article, inspired by chapter 3 of Math for Programmers book, we look at the cross product of two 3D-vectors and representing the surface of any 3D object as a collection of triangles. The cross product can be used to …

$Three Dimensional Vectors and Dot Product$

The world around is in three dimensions, yet it is not as easy to represent on a 2D surface such as a page or screen. This article, inspired by chapter 3 of Math for Programmers book, looks at presenting 3D vectors with Matplotlib. It also shows how to calculate the length of 3D-vectors and explores the dot product of …
