Matrices can be your friend - webpage

I found this helpful, so I thought I'd post it. Ideally one day I'll understand this all enough to be able to post something more complete and directed towards SU.
But for now, this is a useful page I think:

I'm also liking this one. It is helping me understand a few more things......little by little.

Thanks Frenchy, I had not stumbled on that exact page on wikipedia. I had seen others, but none so complete. I'll look that over. I really feel like mastering the matrix for some reason lately!

Attached is the Baker article in black text on a white page.
I've read it and it makes almost complete sense. What was the "glRotate" he referred to? Is that openGL? Does that help us?
I've read Wiki (gone thru the words one at a time, anyway) and it is dense. Went to Wiki's Transformation Matrix article and it was unreadable. I left a message to that effect on the talk page. If you go there, please move my message to the bottom of the talk page (where I should have put it) and add another message re "how about writing for folks who didn't get a PhD in math?"
change the extension back to html (board doesn't allow ULing HTML).
