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.

Do The Maths / The reading view

Make room for a satisfying “why”.

If Computer Science keeps catching your attention, “Dual-Quaternions and Computer Graphics” is a title to put on your radar. Its listed scope opens a worthwhile conversation about Computer Science. 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. Bring a pencil, a small example, and the willingness to ask why a relationship works. Moving between symbols and visible behaviour can turn an abstract topic into something you want to investigate further. Save it for the next time you want to follow the idea further.
