Download or read book A Geometric Algebra Invitation to Space-Time Physics, Robotics and Molecular Geometry written by Carlile Lavor and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-12 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
