About the course

Maths and video games go hand-in-hand. Video games are a practical, challenging, and fun way to sharpen your math skills. What's more, video games are like living math. From graphics and physics, to AI and movement, games are full of math.

Learn foundational math concepts relevant to game development. In the course we break it down and build it back up, block by block. For each skill you will start from an interesting real-world problem. You'll always understand why you're learning a concept, and feel motivated to solve the problem in hand. In the course you will learn:

The concepts learnt will help you create interesting scoring mechanics, have one object smoothly follow another, calculate the path of a projectile, target enemies using triangles and understand how random item drops work.

This course is the result of a successful Kickstarter, and consistent demand from our community of hundreds of thousands of students worldwide. There is a real need to improve math skills, not just for games, but for many areas of life. You'll be amazed how much more colourful the world looks as your math improves.

All the math you learn will be reinforced with quizzes. You'll write your own handwritten notes as you go, to help you remember your skills. We'll translate some of the math to pseudocode so you can see how it applies to C#, C++, Python and any other modern language.

Join us on this exciting journey now, you won't be disappointed

Hi, I’m Gary – It’s a pleasure to meet you.

I’m a self-proclaimed nerd who absolutely loves video games, maths, science, and technology.

I studied Computing & IT with the Open University and was first introduced to GameDev.tv in 2017, when I enrolled on the “Complete Unity Developer” course. I wanted to get serious about making games and a few months later I was a Unity certified developer and now run my own indie game studio.

In my younger years, I worked as a professional musician and private guitar tutor and particularly enjoyed passing on my knowledge to others. So, when the opportunity arose to become a GameDev.tv instructor, I couldn’t pass up the chance to share my knowledge and passion with all of you!
