The Problem: We want to view a 3D World on a 2D surface such as a computer monitor given an arbitrary view point and view angles in that world. We want this world to be as accurate as possible for us, such that we can not distinguish it from reality.

The Solution: The answer lies in a mathematical approach called Projections. Projections transform 3D objects onto a 2D plane, from which we are viewing. Before we can discuss projections, we must discuss the mathematical backgrounds that form the basis of projections, which is where we will begin next time!
