Geometric Transformations

Problem: How to move an object

We know how to move objects in real life
How can we move them on a computer?
Goal: move the house from "here" to "there"
Need: a way of quantifying "here" and "there"
Solution: a coordinate system
- expresses space numerically
- provides metric (can describe the distance between one point and another)
