Geometry and Symmetry Chapter 5: Dynamical Transformation Functions

Posted 23 hours ago

In this preliminary post I introduce the idea of dynamical Transformation Functions, that is, the situation where the Transformation Matrices have functions rather than numbers as entries. I apply this specifically in the case of even (direct) isometries of real 3-space. I introduce DITF format which is independent of the construction of the transformation function. I give a geometrical interpretation which shows motion in space not only the position but also the orientation of the object. Several examples are given.
