Im looking for some tutorials or books about mathemathics, but specifically oriented to 3d programming. I have found a nice tutoria in Flipcode (the geometry primer), but it is still incomplete.

it taught me so much in the past. you will find close to everything related to math there. your local universities library might be interesting, too...

Mathematics for 3D Game Programming & Computer Graphics (2nd Ed.) is pretty okay.

Anubis, you have any idea what happened to that site? It was supposed to teach chemistry and physiks too.... never saw any movement though..

hmm... maybe somebody can fill the gap with a series of articles on the topic :D
maybe we can have a weekly series with changing writers...

Computer Animation: Algorithms and Techniques is a good book. Almost everything in 3D is animation and the book cover a lot of topic, from FFD to physic, skinning, etc... Not everything in the book is related to real time. Its a very good introduction to a lot of thing. Sometime chapters are a bit short of details but I have always managed to fill the gap. In most of the case formula are very well explained.
