"Game Mathematics and Shaders" is a hands-on course designed to familiarise you with game mathematics and shaders. The course also covers designing architecture for your game project and creating character behaviour AI.

After completing the "Game Mathematics and Shaders" course, students will have gained the knowledge and skills to:
• Understand and Apply Lerp and basic Vector Transforms: Gain an understanding of linear interpolation and vector transformations, and apply these concepts to manipulate game objects and create smooth movements.
• Manipulate Cameras:
Develop skills to control camera movements using raycasting
• Program Shaders:
Learn to program shaders and use Shader Graph to create basic materials
• Utilize Curves in Game Design:
Understand the use of curves and how to implement Bezier curves
• Implement AI Patterns:
Be introduced to various AI patterns used in video games
• Understand Game Architecture:
Learn the principles of architecting in course's game engine

By the end of this course, students should be able to apply these concepts and techniques to their own game projects.
