| Aug 26, 2012 at 18:43 | comment | added | Ryan Budney | @mt: many mathematicians have a far more diverse background than a vanilla Ph.D on some sanitised, isolated subject that civilians have never heard of. And a lot of companies overlook imperfections in applications if the applicant is well-rounded enough in the general area they're looking for. | |

| Aug 26, 2012 at 14:53 | comment | added | J W | Steven M. LaValle's "Planning Algorithms" could be worth taking a look at if you're interested in motion planning. It's kindly made available online by the author at planning.cs.uiuc.edu. Some of the material in chaps 3, 4 and 6 touches on (real) algebraic geometry. There's also Jon M. Selig's "Geometric Fundamentals of Robotics," which draws on topics such as Lie groups, algebraic geometry and differential geometry. | |
