Where are you from? What's your experience?

Hello everybody! So, I live in Germany but originally from Venezuela. It has been way too long since I went to college and seriously used my math and game development skills since I have been doing web development for longer that I care to share :joy:

I’ve been wanting to get back into game development and figured starting with a math refresher was the best way to start.

My name’s Brent, I’m from Missouri and been programming for about 10 years or so. I was never that great at math despite having a very mathematically inclined family, so I’m kind of playing catch up here! I’ve always been interested in math and mathematical concepts, but struggled in school to get through my classes with anything better than a D+. I’m looking forward to getting through this course and hopefully will have much stronger math skills by the end of it!

Hi, this is Mahmood. I studied math during my civil engineer diploma and I did it again when I studied my bachelor in architecture, I’m very good in engineering mathematics (calculus specially power series) and I’m excellent in leaner algebra. I just want to make sure I’m not missing any math topics regarding game Development that’s why I took this course, till now everything is perfect (it’s super easy) I really appreciate all the work put into this course thanks a lot

Hi, I’m Tom. I’m a service engineer interested in programming and game dev as a hobby, possibly even a career change. I studied computing at university 20 years ago. Math is something I’ve always struggled with. Websites such as YouTube, Khan Academy and Open University have helped me get back into the basics.

Hello! My name’s Daniel, and I’m from Sweden.

I’m 36, and I’ve been interested in games & game development for most of my life, but I’ve never really dived into the latter. A major reason for that is because I’ve never been good at math, and the anxiety I’ve always had surrounding the subject made me put off game development during my younger years.

I’m a web developer now, and one important thing that I’ve learnt through my job is that you don’t always have to know the exact solution to every problem that you are facing; sometimes the more important thing is to know how to define your problems. This makes it easier to look for—and understand—other people’s solutions, and adapt them (not just copy & paste) so that they work for you.

I’ve really been enjoying Rick’s Complete C# Unity Game Developer 3D Online Course recently, and I want to continue this new path in my life. Therefore, I’ve decided that brushing up and expanding my mathematical knowledge (anxiety be damned!) will really help me define future problems and how to approach them, which should make this hobby a lot more fun, and produce better results! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Thank you for this opportunity, GameDev Team!

Hi everyone,

My name is Anna and I am a new VFX Artist - I am good on the art side of things but understanding the math needs a bit of a refresher I feel so I thought I’d take this course to help strengthen my fx! :slight_smile:

Hello, please call me “Rara”, I’m from Kuwait. I’m taking several courses with GameDevtv through Udemy, one of them being this Mathematics course in order to further my game development knowledge (which isn’t much). I’m basically at a “less-than-high school” level in mathematics since a lot of time has passed since then and I’ve forgotten almost everything. I hope we can keep learning and growing together. It’s a pleasure sharing this space here with you.

hi all
I’m Nandhakishor
from India, Kerala.
basely I’m a VFX artist
and I love coding so that’s why I chose this course to understand the math behind the game dev

Hello everyone,
I’m Andreas from Germany. I’m a 7th grade student (I’ll go in the 8th class at mid of August), I really enjoy math and my grades are also well and I want to challenge me. I’m excited of the later course themes :wink:

Hi, my name is Neil and I’m from Alberta, Canada. In a non-professional capacity, my past experience includes programming (C++, HTML, BASIC, limited assembly), graphics (pixelart, DTP, limited 3d) and informal game design. My math experience is limited to high school education. I would like to either increase or brush up on my math skills by taking this gamedev.tv course.

Hi from Alberta, always good to meet another Canadian!

Greetings from Canada! I’ve done some MS Access VBA programming too, and it’s neat how it can sharpen the mind and help prepare for learning another seemingly unrelated topic like math! Hope your studies go well.

Hi everyone! Tony here from the USA. Between high school and college I had various math courses, but they were a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. :grinning: I think this course will be a good refresher along with perhaps learning some new things.

I am currently having fun working on a simple 2D space shooter game. And I think improving math skills can be helpful in game development.

Hi there! I’m Kris from Minnesota, USA. I’ve been in software a long time and game dev off and on and have gotten by with the math I can readily research and apply. But, I really want to understand the later topics in this course. I think it’s needed to take the next step as a professional.

Since I haven’t done formal math since my school days (long long ago) I feel this area is one of my weak points. I’m anxious to approach it but so far so good!

Hello, my name es Leo, I’m from Argentina. I’ve a dregree in Administration and I work as a BI Analyst in a company, but a year ago I started learning Unity and I’m in love with it. So here I’m trying to learn more stuff and maybe one day do this as my full time job! :slight_smile:

Hi, I’m Karl, a game developer from Auckland, New Zealand. I have been using Unity for the last decade but have decided to start making games in native C++, so I really need to brush up on my math!!!

HI, I’m Bridget, i’m from California in the USA . I’m an artist (started classically 2d then switched to digital) and i’d love to make games. I’ve been doing a lot of pixel art the last few years but I have no way to apply it. I’m not great with computers so I’m doing what I can to improve those skills in order to bring my art to life. My last math class was Calculus but that was a while ago. I enjoy math though.

Hi,
Antonio, from Spain. My background is very different. Primary teacher. Then became specialist in education. Start with tech ver late first with HTML, then graphic design… became an ICT teacher, then Computer Science teacher and now because the Computing curriculum change a lot I am getting into the 3D design (Blender) and game dev with Godot. Just for fun. Really enjoyed.
I start learning English (speaking with my wife very late so apologies for my spelling mistakes)

i’m shi.

hobbyist game dev but rusty in my maths (my last maths was calculus and trig in college which was about 20 years ago)

just here to relearn maths and to get better at my game dev passion. may everyone succeed. <3

Hi there, I’m Cesar from Mexico. I’m about to enter my last semester in my digital arts degree and heard some great things about this course from a professor. I’ve always been very interested in game development, particularly when it comes to character art. Still, I felt it was important to have at least some basic understanding of all the math and code that actually goes into making a game. The last experience I had with math was calculus in high school. I also have a little bit of coding experience from javascript in high school and a bit of Unity experience from college, but both are very rusty.
