A lean, header-only C library providing linear math types for graphics programming: vec3, vec4, mat4x4, and quaternions. Types are named to match GLSL so results can be passed directly to shader uniforms.

Use cases

• do vector and matrix math for OpenGL or Vulkan applications
• compute transformations with 4x4 matrices in C
• use quaternions for 3D rotations
• pass computed values directly to GLSL uniforms
• add lightweight linear algebra to a game engine without dependencies
• implement camera and model-view-projection math

When to choose

• you need a small, dependency-free linear math library in C
• you want GLSL-compatible types for graphics programming
• you prefer a single header you can drop into any project

When to avoid

• you need double precision or SIMD-optimized math
• you need general-purpose linear algebra like arbitrary-size matrices or decompositions
• you work in a language other than C
