This list is provided as a guide for entry level engineers looking for jobs in the game industry.  It's meant as a guide to topics that should be understood well enough to recall in a phone screen or technical interview.  I doubt any hiring manager requires knowedge across all of these topcis, but an ideal candidate would be knowledgeable with all of it.  This is, instead, meant to be a tableu of knowledge that one could use to know what one might have ignorance in, and use that as a study tool or perhaps as something to guide a personal project with.

Good luck.

Math
====

Numbers
* radix (2: binary, 10: decimal, 16: hexadecimal)

Alegbra:
* polynomials
* conic sections

Linear Algebra
* matrices for representing systems of equations
* the determinant and what it tells you about a matrix

Trigonometry:
* all the trigonometric functions
* how each relate to coorinates on the unit circle

ℝ3 and affine transformations:
* fundamental vector operations: addition, subtraction, dot and cross products
* vectors that are "normalized," "orthogonal," and "ortho-normalized"
* the plane equation, the dot-product, and how they are related
* row-major vs. column-major ordering in matrices
* rotation matrices (3-by-3 matrices, normal and non-normal, orthogonal and non-orthogonal)
* how to intuit a rotation from a 3-by-3 ortho-normalized matrix
* how euler angles are short-hand for rotation matrices
* homogenous coordinates (vs. point notation)
* affine transform components: composition and decomposition
