I have to admit I'm quite surprised by how eerily similar this website feels to my book. The chapter structure, the sequencing of the concepts, the examples and diagrams, even the "why" section (mine https://gabrielgambetta.com/computer-graphics-from-scratch/0... - theirs https://lisyarus.github.io/blog/posts/implementing-a-tiny-cp...)
I don't know what to make of this. Maybe there's nothing to it. But I feel uneasy :(
As for similarity, I think the sections you've highlighted are broadly similar, but I can't detect any phrase-for-phrase copy-pasting that is typical of LLM or thesaurus find-replace. I feel that the topic layout and the motivations for any tutorial or course covering the same subject matter will eventually converge to the same broad ideas.
The website's sequence of steps is also a bit different compared to your book's. And most telling, the code, diagrams, and maths in the website are all different (such assets are usually an instant giveaway of plagiarism). You've got pseudocode; the website uses the C++ standard library to a great extent.
If it were me, I might rest a little easier :)
The 3D software rendering is still the most popular lecture from our school even after all these years. And it really surprises me because we "spend a lot of time" talking about some old techniques (MS-DOS, Amiga, ST, Archimedes, etc.). But it's fun to see how much doing things manually help students understand the math and the data movement that the GPU helps automate and vectorize in modern systems.

I'll also link a comment[1] I made a while back about learning 3D graphics. There's no better teacher than manually implementing the rasterisation and ray-tracing pipelines.
