As one might imagine, I have more math references than I can even get around to
reading...

I found this one that seemed especially comprehensive and directly applicable to
coding scenes in SDL.

http://www.math.uni.lodz.pl/~maczar/ggk/Vince%20-%20Geometry%20for%20Computer%20Graphics.pdf

Perhaps others know of additional excellent references.

A lot of these would make sweet macros (or internal functions) ;)

I elect Stephen.

It's embarrassing to discover how much math I *don't* know...
