Description for Quaternions, Clifford Algebras and Relativistic Physics
Paperback. 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. Num Pages: 180 pages, 2 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PBF; PHR. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 232 x 158 x 11. Weight in Grams: 286.
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.
