Geometric Algebra for Computer Science (Revised Edition)An Object-Oriented Approach to Geometry\nAuthor(s): Leo Dorst, Daniel Fontijne, Stephen Mann\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science & Technology, United States\nImprint: Morgan Kaufmann Publishers In\nISBN-13: 9780123749420, 978-0123749420\nSynopsis\nGeometric Algebra for Computer Science (Revised Edition) presents a compelling alternative to the limitations of linear algebra. Geometric algebra (GA) is a compact, time-effective, and performance-enhancing way to represent the geometry of 3D objects in computer programs. This book explains GA as a natural extension of linear algebra and conveys its significance for 3D programming of geometry in graphics, vision, and robotics. It systematically explores the concepts and techniques that are key to representing elementary objects and geometric operators using GA. It covers in detail the conformal model, a convenient way to implement 3D geometry using a 5D representation .
