| | | | | Last time we investigated the naive (which I'll henceforth call "classical") notion of the Fourier transform and its inverse. While the development wasn't quite rigorous, we nevertheless discovered elegant formulas and interesting properties that proved useful in at least solving differential equations. Of course, we wouldn't be following this trail of mathematics if it didn't result in some worthwhile applications to programming. While we'll get there eventually, this primer will take us deeper down the rabbit hole of abstraction. | |

| | | | | When you read BRDF theory papers, you'll often see mention of slope space. Sometimes, components of the BRDF such as NDFs or masking-shadowing functions are defined in slope space, or operations are done in slope space before being converted back to ordinary vectors or polar coordinates. However, the meaning and intuition of slope space is rarely explained. Since it may not be obvious exactly what slope space is, why it is useful, or how to transform things to and from it, I thought I would write down a ... | |

| | | The singular value decomposition (SVD) of a matrix is a fundamental tool in computer science, data analysis, and statistics. It's used for all kinds of applications from regression to prediction, to finding approximate solutions to optimization problems. In this series of two posts we'll motivate, define, compute, and use the singular value decomposition to analyze some data. (Jump to the second post) I want to spend the first post entirely on motivation and background. | ||
