Product Description: This graduate-level monographic textbook treats applied differential geometry from a modern scientific perspective. Co-authored by the originator of the world s leading human motion simulator Human Biodynamics Engine , a complex, 264-DOF bio-mechanical system, modeled by differential-geometric tools this is the first book that combines modern differential geometry with a wide spectrum of applications, from modern mechanics and physics, via nonlinear control, to biology and human sciences...read more

This is a graduate–level monographic textbook in the field of Computational Intelligence. It presents a modern dynamical theory of the computational mind, combining cognitive psychology, artificial and computational intelligence, and chaos theory with quantum consciousness and computation. The book introduces to human and computational mind, comparing and contrasting main themes of cognitive psychology, artificial and computational intelligence.

Elementary Differential Geometry, Second Edition provides an introduction to the geometry of curves and surfaces.

Product Description: Im Kontext der Stadt Berlin mit ihren Brüchen und Versatzstücken haben Hilde Léon und Konrad Wohlhage eine Vorliebe für die Bebauung von ungefügen Restflächen entwickelt und die Herausforderung angenommen, die in dieser Aufgabe steckt: Ihre Projekte spiegeln den Versuch wider, solche «Abfallprodukte» durch Architektur umzudeuten und den Bewohnern als nutzbare Orte zurückzugeben...read more

Human-Like Biomechanics is a comprehensive introduction into modern geometrical methods to be used as a unified research approach in two apparently separate and rapidly growing fields: mathematical biomechanics and humanoid robotics. The book contains six Chapters and an Appendix. The first Chapter is an Introduction, giving a brief review of mathematical techniques to be used in the text. The second Chapter develops geometrical basis of human-like biomechanics, while the third Chapter develops its mechanical basis, mainly from generalized Lagrangian and Hamiltonian perspective. The fourth Chapter develops topology of human-like biomechanics, while the fifth Chapter reviews related nonlinear control techniques. The sixth Chapter develops covariant biophysics of electro-muscular stimulation. The Appendix consists of two parts: classical muscular mechanics and modern path integral methods, which are both used frequently in the main text. The whole book is based on the authors’ own research papers in human-like biomechanics.
