Description for Foundations of Geometric Algebra Computing Paperback. This book lays the foundation for the widespread use of geometric algebra as a new, up-and-coming field of geometrically intuitive and performant computing technology with a wide range of potential engineering applications in academia and industry. Series: Geometry and Computing. Num Pages: 224 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBM; TBJ; UYQV. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 12. Weight in Grams: 349.

The author defines “Geometric Algebra Computing” as the geometrically intuitive development of algorithms using geometric algebra with a focus on their efficient implementation, and the goal of this book is to lay the foundations for the widespread use of geometric algebra as a powerful, intuitive mathematical language for engineering applications in academia and industry. The related technology is driven by the invention of conformal geometric algebra as a 5D extension of the 4D projective geometric algebra and by the recent progress in parallel processing, and with the specific conformal geometric algebra there is a growing community in recent years applying ...

This book is organized into three parts: in Part I the author focuses on the mathematical foundations; in Part II he explains the interactive handling of geometric algebra; and in Part III he deals with computing technology for high-performance implementations based on geometric algebra as a domain-specific language in standard programming languages such as C++ and OpenCL. The book is written in a tutorial style and readers should gain experience with the associated freely available software packages and applications.

The book is suitable for students, engineers, and researchers in computer science, computational engineering, and mathematics. Show Less

Reviews for Foundations of Geometric Algebra Computing
From the book reviews: “This textbook addresses students (undergraduate to postgraduate), scientists and engineers with an interest in intuitive and highly efficient computer programs based on W. K. Clifford’s geometric algebras. The book greatly benefits from the original work of the author, and is very readable. … After a general introduction to the benefits of geometric algebra, geometric algebra ... Read more
