Beschreibung

This book presents new results on applications of geometric algebra. The time when researchers and engineers were starting to realize the potential of quaternions for - plications in electrical, mechanic, and control engineering passed a long time ago. Since the publication of Space-Time Algebra by David Hestenes (1966) and Clifford Algebra to Geometric Calculus: A Uni?ed Language for Mathematics and Physics by David Hestenes and Garret Sobczyk (1984), consistent progress in the app- cations of geometric algebra has taken place. Particularly due to the great dev- opments in computer technology and the Internet, researchers have proposed new ideas and algorithms to tackle a variety of problems in the areas of computer science and engineering using the powerful language of geometric algebra. In this process, pioneer groups started the conference series entitled "Applications of Geometric Algebra in Computer Science and Engineering" (AGACSE) in order to promote the research activity in the domain of the application of geometric algebra. The ?rst conference, AGACSE'1999, organized by Eduardo Bayro-Corrochano and Garret Sobczyk, took place in Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, Mexico, in July 1999. The contri- tions were published in Geometric Algebra with Applications in Science and En- neering, Birkhäuser, 2001. The second conference, ACACSE'2001, was held in the Engineering Department of the Cambridge University on 9-13 July 2001 and was organizedbyLeoDorst,ChrisDoran,andJoanLasenby. Thebestconferencecont- butions appeared as a book entitled Applications of Geometric Algebra in Computer Science and Engineering, Birkhäuser, 2002. The third conference, AGACSE'2008, took place in August 2008 in Grimma, Leipzig, Germany.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This book is a result of the edited proceedings of the 2008 conference. It contains many advanced ideas from mathematics, physics, and computer science, and ... serve as a reference book on geometric algebra and its applications. ... includes numerous color illustrations, and the chapters end with references to the literature. ... This book should be treasured for presenting various geometric algebra applications in several areas ... . It will be useful to physicists, computer scientists, and engineers. ... this is a very useful book." (S. V. Nagaraj, ACM Computing Reviews, February, 2012)
