About this book

This book presents an introduction to the analysis of general movements in 3D space, especially for movements of the human body. It is based on the lecture notes of a class on 3D Kinematics, which the author has been holding in the Master Degree Program of his home institution, the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria. The lecture introduces the mathematics underlying the measurement and analysis of 3D movements. The target audience primarily comprises research experts in the field, but the book may also be beneficial for graduate students alike. 

Reviews

“After reading this book, the reader will be convinced that the intended audience for it consists of scientists and engineers in mechanics and control as well as in graduate and PhD students in the area of mechanics, biomechanics, robotics and mechatronics.” (Clementina Mladenova, zbMath 1417.70001, 2019)
