In this article, the authors present a revised edition of one of the classic mathematics texts published in the last 25 years, which includes updated references and indexes and error corrections and will continue to serve as the standard text for students and professionals in the field.Abstract:
This is a revised printing of one of the classic mathematics texts published in the last 25 years. This revised edition includes updated references and indexes and error corrections and will continue to serve as the standard text for students and professionals in the field.Differential manifolds are the underlying objects of study in much of advanced calculus and analysis. Topics such as line and surface integrals, divergence and curl of vector fields, and Stoke's and Green's theorems find their most natural setting in manifold theory. Riemannian plane geometry can be visualized as the geometry on the surface of a sphere in which "lines" are taken to be great circle arcs.read more

Book
Robot Modeling and Control
TL;DR: In this paper, the Jacobian is used to describe the relationship between rigid motions and homogeneous transformations, and a linear algebraic approach is proposed for vision-based control of dynamical systems.

The Geometry of Algorithms with Orthogonality Constraints
TL;DR: The theory proposed here provides a taxonomy for numerical linear algebra algorithms that provide a top level mathematical view of previously unrelated algorithms and developers of new algorithms and perturbation theories will benefit from the theory.
