Minor corrections and improvements:
- Pg 5, Fig 1.2, line 6: replace 'e2' by 'n' and add comment "n is a direction vector". [20070828 MM]
- Pg 5, Fig 1.2: add comment "ni represents the point at infinity". [20070828 MM]
- Pg 47, Table 2.3, line -5: Change k-vectors of any grade to multivectors. [20081018 JS]
- Pg 52, drill 4: change support vector to position vector (twice). [20071008 MM]
- Pg 53, exercise 7: this is not really 'harder', but A should obviously be assumed to be non-zero. [20070713]
- Pg 53, exercise 7: insert "precisely" after "contains". [20081018 SP]
- Pg 69, line 6: change "This involves" to "In 3-D, this involves" [20070808 AC]
- Pg 70, case 3:
blades can be disjoint and still have a well-defined cosine measure
[20070808 AC].
Replace the text of item 3 by:
- We then need at least two rotations in orthogonal 2-blades to bring the subblades into alignment (see [52]). The cosine computed by (3.5) is now equal to the product of the cosines of these orthogonal rotations, and therefore zero if at least one of them is over a right angle. In that case, the blades should be considered perpendicular. (An example of such a situation in 4-D space involves the 2-blades A = e1∧e3 and B =(cosα e1- sinα e2)∧(cosβ e3- sinβ e4). Verify that A∧B = - sinα sinβ e1∧e2∧e3∧e4, so that they are indeed disjoint, while their cosine equals A∗B˜ = cosα cosβ.)
- Reinterpreting a zero cosine within this larger context, it means that two blades are perpendicular if they require at least one right-angle rotation to align them.
- Pg 82, Figure 3.5: In figure (a) change { a* = A } to { A }, and { a } to { a = A* }. In figure (b) change { A* = -a } to { -a }, and { A } to { A = (-a)* }. In the caption change 'of a vector a is the bivector A' to 'of a bivector A is the vector a' and change 'The dual of ' to 'The vector whose dual is'. [20080820 PH]
- Pg 92, exercise 7: show this in a 1-dimensional Euclidean space. [20070401]
- Pg 106, just below equation: Change 'By induction...follows' to 'Similar steps can be used to provide an inductive proof of the general result for blades of (3.26).' [20071029 GG]
- Pg 112, second to last paragraph: the formula involves [f]-T, the inverse of the transpose. We should have introduced this nonstandard notation explicitly. [20070401]
- Pg 116, line 4: One should avoid counting blades like b1∧b2 and b2∧b1 twice, for instance by an ordering demand on the indices such as i<j. [20071127 GG]
- Pg 118, exercise 4: hand calculations are simpler if you use instead f[b] = +3a - 5b. [20070401]
- Pg 119, exercise 7: It is better to redefine g by including a reversion of its argument through A * g[A˜]. [20070401]
- Pg 119, exercise 9: The metric needs to be non-degenerate, or the reciprocal may not exist. [20071127 AC]
- Pg 119, exercise 13: The mapping f is a non-uniform scaling rather than a shear. Do the exercise, then change one e1 into e2 to get a proper shear, and do it again. [20070401]
- Pg 129, the paragraph before (5.6)
contains an error, for A'-1 is not generally equal to
B⌋J-1.
Replace this paragraph by the following continuation of the derivation:
- Then 1=(B⌋J-1)∗(A⌊M-1)=(M-1∧(B⌋J-1))∗A=(M-1∧(B⌋J-1))⌋A. Now M=M∧1=M∧((M-1∧(B⌋J-1))⌋A)=(M⌋(M-1∧(B⌋J-1)))⌋A=(B⌋J-1)⌋A, so that we obtain:
- Pg 130, the example: the normalization of A is wrong, it should not be ½ but 1/√3. This should be propagated through the example, changing all factors of ½. In the final line of (5.9), the factor pulled out is then -√(2/3), and the last paragraph of the example should give the angle as asin(-√(2/3)). [20080326 GG]
- Pg 130: the last argument in the second line of the derivation should be (e2+e3) rather than e3, though this does not affect the final outcome. [20070401]
- Pg 133, line -8: change "linear transformations" to "invertible linear transformations". [20080326 GG]
- Pg 134, line -11: The table entry for 'Point and Plane' in 'Space' should have a minus, not a plus. [20081018 JS]
- Pg 135, halfway: It is not true that adj(f)-1[J-1] = f[J]-1. Therefore this particular derivation of the structure preservation of the meet is incorrect. A more direct derivation is to observe that the defining equations (5.1) and (5.2) are also valid, by outermorphism, for f[A], f[B], f[M], f[J]. Therefore the f-transformed part of (5.6) is valid too, so f[A∩B] = f[A]∩f[B], with f[J] substituting for J. [20070911 AC]
- Pg 137, exercise 1, the second equation should have A rather than its inverse. [20070401]
- Pg 137, exercise 3, change "magnitude" to read "magnitude of their meet". [20070401]
- Pg 144, line 9: Change "each element" to "each invertible element". [20081018 JS]
- Pg 151, middle: change |k -l +2| to |k -l| +2. [20080712 WKW]
- Pg 157, middle derivation: from line 2 onwards, a factor ½ is missing, and line 3 should have a minus on the term AaxA-1. [20070813 AC]
- Pg 162, line 7: subscript should be l-k. [20090104 ORSL]
- Pg 203, exercise 8, change 2π/3 to -2π/3. [20070723]
- Pg 222, last 2 lines: The intended bold notation ω of the angular velocity vector was not conveyed in printing. It should be used throughout on the last line, and replace the first two ω symbols on the line before. [20071008 PJK]
- Pg 225, bottom derivation:
AC reports a more compact derivation:
limε→0 ((x+εa)-1-x-1)/ε = limε→0 -x-1 ((x+εa)-x)/ε) (x+εa)-1 = -x-1 a x-1. [20071127 AC] - Pg 255, last line: There is a better way to permit the possibilities Rp = ± 1 (in the second paragraph), namely by requiring R2p = 1. This avoids some subtle problems in the 3D equation, which is then replaced by (ab)2p=(bc)2q=(ca)2r=1. [20070911 AC, personal communication]
- Pg 255, line 20: '16 equivalent' should be '8 equivalent'. [20070911 AC]
- Pg 256, line 2 to 5: Although the resulting condition 1/p+1/q+1/r>1 is correct, the polar triangle argument we are using here is flawed. Following a hint from AC, we are studying Coxeter to summarize the proper derivation. [20071127 AC]
- Pg 266, line 0: Add if (ha == (mv::Float)0.0) return _rotor((mv::Float)1.0); to the code example at the top of the page, so before the comment line // return rotor: [20080326 AC]
- Pg 266, line 13: The code comment // return src * exp(alpha * log(dst * inverse(src))); should read // return src * exp(alpha * log(inverse(src) * dst));. [20080326 AC]
- Pg 286, section 11.5.3: This would be a good place to be more precise about the definition of weight. Write the direction A of a finite k-flat X in terms of a chosen pseudoscalar Ik for its subspace as A = ω Ik , then ω is the weight of the blade. For an infinite (k+1)-blade X, choose a pseudoscalar Ik+1 and write X = ω Ik+1, then ω is the weight of the blade. In both cases, the sign of the weight is determined by the chosen orientation of the pseudoscalar, but its magnitude is geometrically objective. It is simple to prove from the definition that a weight is translation invariant. Note also that unit weight and unit norm are different concepts; for the point representation e0+p has weight 1, but norm √(e02+p2) [20080326 AC]
- Pg 293, caption figure 11.5: replace p by x (twice). [20070401]
- Pg 296, figure 11.7(a): swap the signs in part (a) of the figure only. Because of the counter-intuitive signs resulting in (a) and (c), AC has the sensible suggestion to redefine the relative orientation of A to B as B ∩ A(so that the orientator is written first, the orientatee last). [20080326 AC]
- Pg 297, top: An additional remark could be made: Relative to a join of weight 1, and using its orientation as standard, one has p∩q = (p∧q)* = ±(q-p). [20080326 AC]
- Pg 314, bottom line: replace p by x (twice). [20070401]
- Pg 315, Fig 11.12: mark the intersection of the green line and the line L-* with a red point. [20070829]
- Pg 316, exercise 4: replace k+1 by k-1. [20070715]
- Pg 318, exercise 12: in (11.20) and the text, the 6-pointed stars (suggesting full homogeneous duality) should be 5-pointed stars (Euclidean duality relative to the unit weight direction blade I2 of I). Also, the final duality in (10.20) should be replaced by division by I2. [20080326 AC]
- Pg 318, exercise 17 is flawed, though the message stands. Even for the translation of a point x, one needs to use a non-versor-like sandwiching T x T. Show that. [20070401]
- Pg 331, line -7: Change direction vector to minus the usual direction vector. [20070915 AC]
- Pg 333, line 3: The signs of Π ∩ L and L ∩ Π are identical (see Table 5.1). The simplest way to fix this is to put a minus in front of Π ∩ L. As a consequence, the following paragraph should stop after the phrase "It corresponds to the result in Table 12.1" (and we apologize to [60]). [20070401 AC]
- Pg 338, line -8: remove "inner and", and replace "both spanning and intersection behave" by "spanning behaves". [20070401 AC]
- Pg 338, line -2: the direction formula should be D = e0-1⌋(e0∧(f-1⌋X)) and the support point is at (e0-1⌋e0∧X)/D. [20070401 AC]
- Pg 339, line 7: Replace matrix entry [f-1] by -[f-1]. [20071127 AC]
- Pg 339, line -10: replace e0-1 - f by e0-1 - f-1. [20071011 AC]
- Pg 346, line -10: replace R-1B by RAB (twice). [20071011 AC]
- Pg 349, lines 14, 15, 16, 17:
Change the four lines following // compute images of basis vectors to
point imageOfE1 = _point(R * e1 * Ri + (T ^ (e0 << (R * e1 * Ri))));
point imageOfE2 = _point(R * e2 * Ri + (T ^ (e0 << (R * e2 * Ri))));
point imageOfE3 = _point(R * e3 * Ri + (T ^ (e0 << (R * e3 * Ri))));
point imageOfE0 = _point(R * e0 * Ri + (T ^ (e0 << (R * e0 * Ri))));
This change has no effect on the actual outcome of the computation as (T ^ (e0 << (R * ei * Ri)))) is zero for e1, e2, e3 and e0 is not affected by R. [20080326 AC] - Pg 389, drill 11: This is a non-sensical problem; cancel it. [20070716]
- Pg 389, exercise 5: Show the formula, but there is no need to adapt the algorithm. [20070716]
- Pg 396, line -4: The code comment // return src * exp(alpha * log(dst * inverse(src))); should read // return src * exp(alpha * log(inverse(src) * dst));. [20080326 AC]
- Pg 407-409:
We should have defined more clearly what we mean by weight and orientation as the split of the geometrical concept direction into a scalar and a unit blade element. In the caption of Table 14.2, weight is defined in a manner that makes it always positive -- but this then presumes that the orientation will pick up the sign. AC clarifies the issue raised in the second paragraph of page 409:
-
Let D = Ek ∞
be the direction of a conformal blade X.
If a unit orientation Ik has been given for the k-D vectorspace of Ek, and Ek = α Ik, then α is the weight of Ek, and the orientation of X is sign(α) Ik.
If k=0, the standard orientation is 1, and if k=n, the standard orientation is In. These are invariant under rigid body motions; for the other k-values the orientations are still invariant under translations. - Pg 418, caption Fig 14.8: change "two times" and "twice" to "half". [20070723]
- Pg 425, line 13: replace "on the sum" by "on the squared sum". [20080326 AC]
- Pg 425, line 16: Change o⌋uv to uv. Remove the sentence "By translation covariance...x. [20080326 AC]
- Pg 425, line 18: replace "with that" by "with the square of that". [20080326 AC]
- Pg 425, (14.12): Errata correction! V.U should be V⌋U. Add: "This equation is translation-covariant and holds at x = o, so it is valid everywhere". [20081214 AC]
- Pg 427, drill 5: The carrier is only properly defined in Section 15.2.2. [20070712]
- Pg 445, line 11: change o∧(c⌋E) to o∧(c⌋E)ˆ. [20080326 AC]
- Pg 446, line 7: insert: Formula (15.2) can be interpreted as the dual of Σ relative to the carrier of dimension k; therefore the expression equals (c-½ρ2∞) (-1)k, which is a dual sphere containing Σ. [20080326 AC]
- Pg 446, (15.3) and just after (15.5): Change (-1)n to (-1)k, where k is the dimension of the carrier. [20071130 AC]
- Pg 457, middle: Drop the sentence 'It automatically ... and r'. [20080103 AC]
- Pg 459, last 4 lines: Swap φ and ψ (18 times!). [20080103 AC]
- Pg 461, exercise 4: There are two formula errors and a flaw in this exercise. Either drop it completely, or make spotting those the actual exercise. Do not use the formula in applications. [20070401]
- Pg 466, line 8: E should be transformed according to σ Ê σ-1, and the result is therefore simply E. [20080103 AC]
- Pg 483 drill 3: Replace e1∧e2 by e1+e2. [20070401]
- Pg 485 structural exercise 4: not true for general flats. Replace flats by flats through the origin. [20070401]
- Pg 485, exercise 5, Change exp(-o∧t/2) to exp(o∧t), to be in line with major erratum about pg 475, line -3. [20081214]
- Pg 485, structural exercise 5: Change the last a to its inverse a-1. [20070401]
- Pg 494 line 8: The code comment // return src * exp(alpha * log(dst * inverse(src))); should read // return src * exp(alpha * log(inverse(src) * dst));. [20080326 AC]
- Pg 594, step 2:
It was pointed out to us by GG that step 2 of this proof
is logically flawed, since it assumes
a ⊆ Ck-1
without first proving this from the premise
a ⊆ Ck. He provided total rewrite of these steps of the proof,
but a local fix was given by AC:
-
1. As step 1 of the induction, if one of
A, B or C is a scalar, this is covered by either of the
cases "A is scalar" or "A is not scalar, but B is".
Both are trivial.
2. In case 2, replace "is equivalent to ...[end of equation]" by: is equivalent to a∧Ck-1=0 for some blade Ck-1. Then we obtain:
a∧(b⌋Ck) = a∧(b⌋(a∧Ck-1)) = a∧((b⌋a)∧Ck-1 - a∧(b⌋Ck-1)) = a∧(b⌋a)∧Ck-1 = (a⌋b)⌋Ck.
