Title: Need help understanding Jacobian relationships
Post by: ericthered on August 01, 2009, 07:08:29 PM

I was looking at the standford lectures for introduction to robotics and they said it was important to know in robotics and I believe it could give me an edge in my robotics courses as they focus on electronics so I can master both the electronics and mechanical side of robotics ;D. The math they showed was confusing however I believe if I had some textbook examples I could learn it and benefit from it because when I was in my high school AP calculus class the formulas where very confusing till the variables were put down in number form.

Could I like get a step by step example of someone solving a jacobian relation problem.

jacobians can be used to solve integrals in three dimensional calculus

i'd have to look at my notes to tell you more,
