I'm currently a student at the University of Bolton. I'm on the Computer Games Software Development course, and as part of our first year we do some basic mathematics, followed by basic physics in the next semester. Now most of this - all right, all of it - is old hat to me, but it's still interesting, particularly when Maple gets involved, which I'd never used before starting the course. We recently had to complete a coursework assessment using Maple, and one of the requirements was to create a 'scene' using Maple - so it was lots of transformations, seq() and such. I don't know what the majority of the others did, but seeing as I'm on a games course... well, there was only one thing it could be! It's at the end of the sheet below. Download 3192_Q6a.mws
