Title: Demonstration of Operations in Computer Graphics: 
An Exploration of Matrix Operations on 3D Objects


The usage of linear transformations such as dilation, contraction, 
rotation, reflection, shear, and projection is vital in the creation and 
variation of computer graphics in game design. The ability to transform 
and duplicate game objects is an important part of creating a realistic 
game universe and the tools of linear algebra and linear transformations 
are a convenient tool for game designers and animators to accomplish 
this. The use of such variations on a single save time and effort on the 
behalf of modelers and programmers because they do not have to create, 
rig and program actions for an entirely new object for every instance 
that they wish to render. Particularly, this applies to Object oriented 
programming because each game object is an instance of a GUI object 
which has a given set of actions based on the methods or functions in 
the class defining the object.
