Learn Java with Math

[Giovanni Montano]

I want like to learn to understand the math behind a zoom. I guess there is a transformation of Fourier, will your book teach to improve the understanding of complex well known algorithms that we daily use but we have often not clue how they work. Do you have gradual example to paint on a Canvas making cool animations?

Compliments for the topic and looking forward to read your answers

Please explain more; a zoom is usually a simple scaling (> 1.0, same in both directions), and that is done by scaling a matrix. I have forgotten the other details, however. I don't remember it being any sort of Fourier transformation, but it is often an affine transform.

Not sure if we need to focus much on Math with Java. If Math is a problem in question, then in the world of microservices I would suggest use python or similar language. Any thought are welcome.

Sorry for the delay.
I noticed a number of papers where fourier is indeed used, the point is if you mean scaling a matrix not as a math component but as grid, behind that grid there is in the end linear mathematical concept as a transformation as you said.

I really would love to learn something more than "simple" algorithms so that I can learn how to paint and eventually write myself libraries. But cannot find such a text

Have you looked for Maths for games developers books? What about Paul Orland's book?

It indeed coming much closer to what I am looking for, and I have just found also learn java with games that also could be straight on the point
Thank you very much I am gonna to explore better these two books  tomorrow

What microserices have to do with this topic and question in particular?

Don't really get also, why python in a "world of microservices" is what you suggest.

Microservices is an architectural style, while Python, Java or in fact any other programming language are just tools. Systems or their individual components could be written in any language.
