Plücker Coordinates

Plücker coordinates are a mathematical tool used to describe lines in three-dimensional space using a set of six numbers. Instead of specifying a line by two points, Plücker coordinates capture essential properties of the line, such as its direction and position. They represent a line as a pair of vectors, which makes geometrical calculations and relationships more manageable. This concept is useful in fields like computer graphics, robotics, and computer-aided design, where understanding and manipulating lines and their intersections is crucial.
