function Jb = JacobianBody(Blist, thetalist)
% *** CHAPTER 5: VELOCITY KINEMATICS AND STATICS ***
% Takes Blist: The joint screw axes in the end-effector frame when the
%              manipulator is at the home position, in the format of a 
%              matrix with the screw axes as the columns,
%       thetalist: A list of joint coordinates.
% Returns the corresponding body Jacobian (6xn real numbers).
% Example Input:
% 
% clear; clc;
% Blist = [[0; 0; 1;   0; 0.2; 0.2], ...
%        [1; 0; 0;   2;   0;   3], ...
%        [0; 1; 0;   0;   2;   1], ...
%        [1; 0; 0; 0.2; 0.3; 0.4]];
% thetalist = [0.2; 1.1; 0.1; 1.2];
% Jb = JacobianBody(Blist, thetalist)
% 
% Output:
% Jb =
%   -0.0453    0.9950         0    1.0000
