 #### Zach Wendt - Visual 3D Math (for non-math folks)
 
 Few equations, lots of pictures, animations and a basketball.  These are the visual examples that gave me an intuitive understanding of concepts that I wasn't able to get from math and graphics classes in college.  Why can rotations in only X and Y rotate an object in Z?  Wait, it can?  Why does gimball lock happen, and how do I pick the right workaround?  What's the dot product do, and what's it good for?  (Everything from lighting to tire friction.)
