I'm looking for a couple of books to help me get started on game development. I need a book on the general maths required and a book on knowledge needed for physics engines.

If anyone could suggest some good books on these subjects, I would appreciate it.

This one is allright: https://www.amazon.com/Math-Primer-Graphics-Game-Development/dp/1568817231/ref=dp_ob_title_bk

Choose your graphics API first and get a book that uses the same axis orientation as the API or else you are just making it hard on yourself.

I was planning on using DirectX 10.1.

The most of  the books below are not about game physics. But maybe math for computer graphics will be interesting for you too. If you like my message just click "like button". I will be grad for it. I spent some time to make these links. These is very good links.

Math for game physics:

• 2013 - 04 - Physics for Game Developers - 2nd Edition - D. Bourg, B. Bywalec (source code here)
• 2014 - 05 - Physics for JavaScript Games, Animation, and Simulations - A. Dobre, D. Ramtal
• 2017 - 01 - Building a 2D Game Physics Engine - M. Tanaya, H. Chen, J. Pavleas (source cod here)

Math for computer graphics:

• 2011 - 06 - Mathematics for 3D Game Programming and Computer Graphics - 3rd Edition - Eric Lengyel
• 2011 - 11 - 3D Math Primer for Graphics and Game Development - F. Dunn, I. Parberry (source code here)
• 2013 - 07 - Computer Graphics Principles and Practice - 3rd Edition - John F. Hughes (it is very big book)
• 2015 - 08 - Essential Mathematics for Games and Interactive Applications - 3rd Edition - J. Van Verth

Graphics:

• 2011 - 02 - 3D Graphics for Game Programming - JungHyun Han

Books about game engine architecture with shader OpenGL:

•  2010 - C# Game Programming - For Serious Game Creation - Daniel Schuller (source code here)
• 2015 - 09 - Build your own 2D Game Engine - Jebediah Pavleas (source code here)

You can start here. The links below are for beginners:

• Linear algebra (Khan Academy)
• Math for Game Developers (video lessons)
