Dual-Quaternions and Computer Graphics

By Kenwright

Dual-Quaternions and Computer Graphics is an indispensable resource for mathematicians, engineers, and computer scientists seeking a deeper understanding of this revolutionary mathematical tool. Whether you are a student exploring the frontiers of algebra or a seasoned professional looking to enhance your skills, this book provides a comprehensive and accessible guide to the world of dual-quaternions. Unlock the potential of 4D mathematics and revolutionize your approach to geometric transformations. This book presents an introduction to the practical and analytical advantages of dual-quaternions and their potential in the area of graphics, animation and related fields. While quaternions have proven themselves as a method for providing an unambiguous, un-cumbersome, computationally efficient method of representing rotational information, we hope after reading this book the reader will take a parallel view on dual-quaternions.

More Lovingly / The reading view

Create with a wider perspective.

Looking for a new direction in Books? “Dual-Quaternions and Computer Graphics” makes a persuasive case for giving the subject your attention. Bring a specific question and turn the reading into a purposeful exploration. Rotations are a rich meeting point between mathematical representation and visible motion. Sketch a sequence of transformations and ask what each representation makes easier to express. Keep a person and a situation in view as you explore. Ask who would use the idea, what they would need to understand, and how their experience could change your interpretation. That human question is a productive creative starting point. A promising addition to a reading list with a purpose.
