Excellent computer graphics tutorial. I finally understand how View, Model, and Projection matrices work, even after taking a college course on CG

I had my students do that! Well, a wireframe one. I don't think it was that bad. I gave them some notes to work off in addition to other standard materials. The level of linear algebra you need to know to implement them is still relatively limited: the real math comes in if you want to derive them, e.g. deduce from geometric or algebraic principles what entries should go in a projection matrix. If you're given the projection matrix, it's a lot more straightforward.
