cover Mathematics for 3D Game Programming. - Second edition provides new information on illumination, collision detection, polygonal techniques. New chapters cover rendering pipeline, shadows, numerical methods, and curves and surfaces.

cover Mathematics for 3D game Programming - Includes introduction to Vectors, Matrices, Transforms and Trigonometry. (But no euler angles or quaternions). Also includes ray tracing and some linear & rotational physics also collision detection (but not collision response).

cover 3D Math Primer - Aimed at complete beginners to vector and matrix algebra.

cover The NURBs Book (Monographs in Visual Communication) - A NURBS book for software developer, it covers the theory and also the practical side.

cover NURBS: from Projective Geometry to Practical Use - This is more useful for learning the mathematical foundations of NURBS than for programmers looking for a reference book on practical algorithms or applications of NURBS.

cover An Introduction to NURBS: With Historical Perspective - This is a good textbook for the theory and maths of curve and surface computer modeling.

cover Rhino NURBS 3D Modelling. Rhino is a 3D Modelling program, this book explains how to use it.

cover The Theory of Spinors. Elie Cartan.

cover us uk de jp fr ca Schaum's Outline of Theory and Problems of Tensor Calculus - I'm finding this hard going, it starts off with as review of linear algebra, matrix notation, etc. It redefines a lot of conventions which are hard to relearn, such as superscrips instead of subscripts to identify elements, and a summation convention, then it goes into coordinate transformations. I cant find any definition of what a tensor is. I think this book is aimed at people who already have some knowledge of the subject.
