3 D Euclidean Geometry Through Conformal Geometric Algebra ( a GAViewer tutorial )

This tutorial introduces the conformal model of 3D Euclidean geometry, to date the most powerful way of using geometric algebra for Euclidean computations. We use GAViewer , a package for computation and visualization of the elements of this model, to establish the correspondence between geometric intuition and algebraic specification in this model. Some basic knowledge of geometric algebra is assumed; it can be attained by doing our more basic GABLE + tutorial or reading some of the tutorial papers on our site. Both are available online at http://www.science.uva.nl/ga/tutorials.
