Still working on more of the same. Since I don't have much I can say about my personal progress, I'll put up some links! For fellow programmers out there (or anyone mathematically inclined), I would highly recommend reading up on Exterior Algebra (also known as Grassmann Algebra) and Geometric Algebra. Both are ways of extending Vector Spaces to be more useful and awesome. The two are very similar, but Geometric Algebra is more powerful.
Eric Lengyel gave a very good presentation on Exterior (Grassmann) Algebra at GDC 2012 (one that I saw in person!). It goes over what Exterior Algebra is, why everything you know about rotations and lighting is a lie, and what some good applications are.
Probably won't have much to report tomorrow either, so I'll try to dig up some non-mathy links to share then.
Edit: Retroactively linking a really good Geometric Algebra primer.
