'Multimedia Maths' provides an accessible guide to understanding and using basic software applications including the golden section, co-ordinate systems, collision detection, vectors and parameters. Screen effects and image handling are explained at a complex level using a more detailed outline to build and develop on the basic transformations. More advanced multi-media themes of quaternion rotation, fractal texture, Bezier curves and B-splines are de-constructed and usefully linked to an interactive website.
