Hello all, This week, we discussed sections 2.1 and 2.2, which covered vector spaces and vector equivalence. We especially talked about different approaches to understanding parameterizations and the mappings between them. Given that next week is finals week, we will not meet next week. Our next meeting will be the first week of Winter quarter. Sometime between now and then, fill out this When2Meet with your availability: https://www.when2meet.com/?10476119-HeUw9 For our next meeting, read Section 2.3: Lie Groups. My advice is to take your time; this section is important, and will probably require some interpretation. Happy Holidays! Capprin Bass Oregon State University basscap(a)oregonstate.edu

Hello all, This week, we finished chapter 1. We discussed the properties of the Special Euclidean group, and worked through some of the figures and examples. *We will not meet next week, 11/27.* Instead, we'll meet the following week, on December 4th. If possible, read through sections 2.1 and 2.2 in the next two weeks. Enjoy your Thanksgiving! Capprin Bass Oregon State University basscap(a)oregonstate.edu

Hello all, Last week, I forgot to send out a review of our meeting. I'll review it here, as well as the most recent meeting. *Last Week, 11/06:* We read through section 1.1, focused on manifolds. We addressed questions about the requirements, definitions, and properties for these structures, and worked out some examples. *This Week, 11/13:* We read through section 1.2, covering Groups. We talked about the distinction between left and right actions, and worked an example showing the difference. We provided intuitive examples illustrating direct/semi-direct products, commutativity, and the commutator of two group actions. *Next Week, 11/20:* Read section 1.3, which applies Groups to rigid bodies. Work on the examples, and bring any questions you have! Have a good weekend, Capprin Bass Oregon State University basscap(a)oregonstate.edu

Plan on meeting remotely at that time for the remainder of the quarter - I'll send out a meeting link next week. As a reminder, read through section 1.1 of Dr. Hatton's Geometric Mechanics book <http://rosslhatton.com/GeometricMechanicsBook.html> by our meeting next Friday. Bring any questions you have, and we'll take it from there. In future weeks, we'll read more in between each meeting.

Reading Group Update

27 Oct '20

Hello all, After discussing with Dr. Hatton, we'll be starting off reading at a bit of a slower pace. This week, only read through section 1.1 in the book. We'll discuss it in our first meeting to get everyone started on the right foot. Once everyone fills out the when2meet, I'll communicate meeting details. When2Meet: https://www.when2meet.com/?10196964-gfl3Y In addition, a new copy of the book has been uploaded. While the content of Chapter 1 hasn't changed, be sure to use the new copy before we start reading further chapters. Let me know if you have any questions!
