Anyone using Geometric Algebra?
-
I found a book on Geometric Algebra and from the introduction it seems interesting and promising. Supposedly, it extends linear algebra and then simplifies and makes intuitive all sorts of transformations commonly found in graphics, robotics, vision, etc. However, before I spend a lot of time plowing through another 600 pages of math, I thought I'd see if anyone is using it to benefit or has any opinion on it. I've been promised simple and intuitive by mathematicians before. :suss: For the uninitiated, the premise seems to be that you can produce a 5D space and use that to work with your 3D transformations somewhat analogously to the 4D homogeneous coordinates commonly found in projective transformations and everything is lovely.
