Algebraic Geometry and Geometric Modeling (Mathematics and Visualization)

Springer, 2006

Algebraic Geometry and Geometric Modeling are two distinct domains of research, with few interactions up to now, though closely linked. On the one hand, Algebraic Geometry has developed an impressive theory targeting the understanding of geometric objects defined algebraically. On the other hand, Geometric Modeling is using every day, in practical...

Calculus for Computer Graphics

Springer, 2013

Students studying computer animation and computer games have to be familiar with geometry, matrices, vectors, rotation transforms, quaternions, curves and surfaces, and as computer graphics software becomes increasingly sophisticated, calculus is also being used to resolve its associated problems.

The author draws upon his...

Kinematic Analysis of Robot Manipulators

Cambridge University Press, 2008

This text provides a first-level understanding of the structure, mobility, and analysis of serial manipulators. A serial manipulator is an unclosed or open movable polygon consisting of a series of links and joints. One end is fixed to ground, and attached to the open end is a hand or end effector that can move freely in space.

Foundations of Computer Vision: Computational Geometry, Visual Image Structures and Object Shape Detection (Intelligent Systems Reference Library)

Springer, 2017

This book introduces the fundamentals of computer vision (CV), with a focus on extracting useful information from digital images and videos. Including a wealth of methods used in detecting and classifying image objects and their shapes, it is the first book to apply a trio of tools (computational geometry, topology and algorithms) in solving...

A Passion for Mathematics: Numbers, Puzzles, Madness, Religion, and the Quest for Reality

John Wiley & Sons, 2005

A Passion for Mathematics is an educational, entertaining trip through the curiosities of the math world, blending an eclectic mix of history, biography, philosophy, number theory, geometry, probability, huge numbers, and mind-bending problems into a delightfully compelling collection that is sure to please math buffs, students, and...

Fat Manifolds and Linear Connections

World Scientific Publishing, 2008

The theory of connections is central not only in pure mathematics (differential and algebraic geometry), but also in mathematical and theoretical physics (general relativity, gauge fields, mechanics of continuum media). The now-standard approach to this subject was proposed by Ch. Ehresmann 60 years ago, attracting first mathematicians and...

Advances in Robot Kinematics: Mechanisms and Motion

Springer, 2006

This book presents the most recent research advances in the theory, design, control and application of robotic systems, which are intended for a variety of purposes such as manipulation, manufacturing, automation, surgery, locomotion and biomechanics. The issues addressed are fundamentally kinematic in nature, including synthesis, calibration,...

Computational Geometry: Algorithms and Applications

Springer, 2008

This well-accepted introduction to computational geometry is a textbook for high-level undergraduate and low-level graduate courses. The focus is on algorithms and hence the book is well suited for students in computer science and engineering. Motivation is provided from the application areas: all solutions and techniques from computational...

Contributions in Analytic and Algebraic Number Theory: Festschrift for S. J. Patterson

Springer, 2011

The text that comprises this volume is a collection of surveys and original works from experts in the fields of algebraic number theory, analytic number theory, harmonic analysis, and hyperbolic geometry. A portion of the collected contributions have been developed from lectures given at the "International Conference on the Occasion of...
