Application and importance of Linear Algebra in Computer Graphics

Abstract

Today Computer Graphics is being used in many fields. Be it gaming industry, movies, architecture, in education sector for making class room teaching interesting or for making presentations for a business deal are some of them. It is interesting to know that Linear Algebra a branch of mathematics has made all this possible. In this paper we try to understand how images on the computer screen are scaled, translated and rotated using simple matrix transformations.
