Geometric Algebra for Computer Science (Revised Edition): An Object-Oriented Approach to Geometry (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Graphics)

Hardcover. Pub Date: 2007 Pages: 664 Publisher: Morgan Kaufmann Until recently. all of the interactions between objects in the VIRTUAL 3D worlds have been based on CALCULATIONS Performed using linear algea Linear algea relies heavily on coordinates. However which can make many geometric programming tasks very specific and complex-often a lot of effort is required to ing about even modest performance enhancements. Although linear algea is an efficient way to specify low-level computations. it is not a suitable high-level language for geometric programming. Geometric Algea for Computer Science presents a compelling alternative to the limitations of linear algea. Geometric algea. or GA. is a compact. time-effective. and performance-enhancing way to represent the geometry of 3D objects in computer programs. In this book you will find an introduction to GA that will give you a st...
