Maths - 4 Dimentional Vector Geometry

Points and Lines from the Origin

We can use a 4 dimensional vector to represent a displacement from the origin and therefore specify a given point

Angles

In 4 dimensions rotations have 6 degrees of freedom

Areas

In 4 dimensions areas can be specified by a 6-dimentional vector.

Where I can, I have put links to Amazon for books that are relevant to the subject, click on the appropriate country flag to get more details of the book or to buy it from them.
flag flag flag flag flag flag Clifford Algebra to Geometric Calculus: A Unified Language for Mathematics and Physics (Fundamental Theories of Physics). This book is intended for mathematicians and physicists rather than programmers, it is very theoretical. It covers the algebra and calculus of multivectors of any dimension and is not specific to 3D modelling.
