Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of Clifford numbers and spinors, exploring their intricate relationship with geometry and physics. It traces the development of these mathematical concepts, building upon Hamilton's groundbreaking work with quaternions. The author meticulously guides the reader through the algebraic foundations of Clifford algebras, demonstrating their close connection to tensor algebras and skew-symmetric tensors. The book then moves into a discussion of the geometrical implications of these algebras, highlighting how they can be used to express rotations and isometries. Further chapters explore the application of Clifford numbers to various areas of physics, including Maxwell's equations and the Lorentz force. Special attention is paid to the intriguing properties of four-dimensional Lorentz space, the space-time of special relativity. The book culminates with an introduction to spinors and their applications to the Dirac equation, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of these essential mathematical tools and their diverse applications. Through a clear and engaging narrative, the book offers a unique perspective on the profound connections between mathematics and the physical world.
