Rezensionen / Stimmen
"After reading this book, the reader will be convinced that the intended audience for it consists of researchers in differential geometry and discrete kinematic geometry, particularly in multi- dimensional space and in the kinematics of manipulators with multiple degrees of freedom. The book is useful also for scientists and engineers as well as graduate and Ph.d students interested in the theory and applications of multibody systems." (Zentralblatt MATH 2016)
