The articles in this volume, \nwritten by experts in various fields, reflect an interdisciplinary \napproach to the subject, and highlight a range of techniques and \napplications. Relevant ideas are introduced in a self-contained manner \nand only a knowledge of linear algebra and calculus is assumed. \n   Features and Topics: \n* The mathematical foundations of geometric algebra are explored \n* Applications in computational geometry include models of reflection \nand ray-tracing and a new and concise characterization of the \ncrystallographic groups \n* Applications in engineering include robotics, image geometry, \ncontrol-pose estimation, inverse kinematics and dynamics, control and \nvisual navigation \n* Applications in physics include rigid-body dynamics, elasticity, and \nelectromagnetism \n* Chapters dedicated to quantum information theory dealing with multi- \nparticle entanglement, MRI, and relativistic generalizations \n   Practitioners, professionals, and researchers working in computer \nscience, engineering, physics, and mathematics will find a wide range \nof useful applications in this state-of-the-art survey and reference \nbook. Additionally, advanced graduate students interested in geometric \nalgebra will find the most current applications and methods discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Birkhäuser\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2002-03-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780817642679\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4612-0089-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 478\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Birkhäuser Boston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46544945709196,"sku":"9780817642679","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780817642679.jpg?v=1775758425","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780817642679","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
