| | [AI summary] The text discusses the representation of functions as vectors and their applications in various domains such as signal processing, geometry, and physics. It explains how functions can be treated as vectors in a vector space, leading to the concept of eigenfunctions and eigenvalues, which are crucial for understanding and manipulating signals and geometries. The text also covers different types of Laplacians, including the standard Laplacian, higher-dimensional Laplacians, and the Laplace-Beltrami operator, and their applications in fields like image compression, computer graphics, and quantum mechanics. The discussion includes spherical harmonics, which are used in representing functions on spheres, and their applications in game engines and glo...

| | 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 ...
