I was wondering what kinds of math are used in creation of games.
The ones i know about would be:

Cos and Sin and Tan for movement and looking around,
Parabola for projectiles like arrows.

What else?

Thanks!

Erm. I think it's a necessity. I think it's FAR FAR away from fun, when making a game for example.
You might want to create a game, or whatever.
As I said... I consider it a necessity.

IMHO not for the win  Undecided

Seconded.
I wish I had learned these in a formal setting before needing them.

I know that Euler Angles can be evil, but sometimes very useful also.
