Download or read book Quaternions, Clifford Algebras and Relativistic Physics written by Patrick R. Girard and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-06-25 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of Clifford algebras in mathematical physics and engineering has grown rapidly in recent years. Whereas other developments have privileged a geometric approach, this book uses an algebraic approach that can be introduced as a tensor product of quaternion algebras and provides a unified calculus for much of physics. It proposes a pedagogical introduction to this new calculus, based on quaternions, with applications mainly in special relativity, classical electromagnetism, and general relativity.
