SpringerBriefs in Mathematics,2191-82013-319-90664-X Chapter 01- Low dimensional geometric algebras -- Chapter 02- Conformal geometric algebra -- Chapter 03- Minkowski's space time -- Chapter 04- Robot kinematics -- Chapter 05- Molecular geometry.This book offers a gentle introduction to key elements of Geometric Algebra, along with their applications in Physics, Robotics and Molecular Geometry. Major applications covered are the physics of space-time, including Maxwell electromagnetism and the Dirac equation; robotics, including formulations for the forward and inverse kinematics and an overview of the singularity problem for serial robots; and molecular geometry, with 3D-protein structure calculations using NMR data. The book is primarily intended for graduate students and advanced undergraduates in related fields, but can also benefit professionals in search of a pedagogical presentation of these subjects.SpringerBriefs in Mathematics,2191-8201GeometryMathematical physicsComputer scienceMathematicsGeometryMathematical PhysicsSymbolic and Algebraic ManipulationGeometry.Mathematical physics.Computer scienceMathematics.Geometry.Mathematical Physics.Symbolic and Algebraic Manipulation.516Lavor Carlileauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut767459Xambó-Descamps Sebastiàauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autZaplana Isiahauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910768167203321A Geometric Algebra Invitation to Space-Time Physics, Robotics and Molecular Geometry3655331UNINA
