# Objective
Glam has some common and useful types and helpers that are not in the
prelude of `bevy_math`. This includes shorthand constructors like
`vec3`, or even `Vec3A`, the aligned version of `Vec3`.
```rust
// The "normal" way to create a 3D vector
let vec = Vec3::new(2.0, 1.0, -3.0);
// Shorthand version
let vec = vec3(2.0, 1.0, -3.0);
```
## Solution
Add the following types and methods to the prelude:
- `vec2`, `vec3`, `vec3a`, `vec4`
- `uvec2`, `uvec3`, `uvec4`
- `ivec2`, `ivec3`, `ivec4`
- `bvec2`, `bvec3`, `bvec3a`, `bvec4`, `bvec4a`
- `mat2`, `mat3`, `mat3a`, `mat4`
- `quat` (not sure if anyone uses this, but for consistency)
- `Vec3A`
- `BVec3A`, `BVec4A`
- `Mat3A`
I did not add the u16, i16, or f64 variants like `dvec2`, since there
are currently no existing types like those in the prelude.
The shorthand constructors are currently used a lot in some places in
Bevy, and not at all in others. In a follow-up, we might want to
consider if we have a preference for the shorthand, and make a PR to
change the codebase to use it more consistently.
