DESCRIPTION:
. Jean Gallier is a Professor at the University of Pennsylvania in the Computer and Information Science Department at the School of Engineering and Applied Science
1247, 2012)“Anyone who likes to read about geometry, differential geometry, linear algebra, or Lie theory should find something of interest in this book. It can be recommended to anybody who is interested in modern geometry and its applications.” (Anton Gfrerrer, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. It is highly recommended.” (Mark Hunacek, The Mathematical Association of America, September, 2011). Aside from its potential use as a text, the book should be looked at by anyone who uses or is interested in the topics covered. … this book is filled with interesting mathematics, superbly presented. … this is, of course, a text in geometry, and many aspects of it are covered. &h
Fantastic! One of a kind. A Customer This is a beautiful and unique book. The style is lively and the explanations are remarkably clear. The author makes a significant effort to demistify concepts before defining them rigorously and proving facts about them. It is impressive to see the variety of the topics covered in the book. For example, there is a nice and easy introduction to Lie groups and Lie algebras, and an exquisite treatment of the elementary differential geometry. "Nice reference source" according to Alex Soiguine. Highly solid text/reference book, convenient to use to refresh memory.
It may help to develop the sophisticated concepts from the more advanced parts of geometry into useful tools for applications." (Mathematical Reviews, 2001)"it will be useful as a reference book for postgraduates wishing to find the connection between their current problem and the underlying geometry." (The Australian Mathematical Society, 2001). This book covers the following topics: affine geometry, projective geometry, Euclidean geometry, convex sets, SVD and principal component analysis, manifolds and Lie groups, quadratic optimization, basics of differential geometry, and a glimpse of computational geometry (Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay triangulations). It will be of interest to a wide audience including computer scientists, mathematicians, and engineers. Reviews of first edition:"Gallier's book
