Quaternions, Clifford Algebras and Relativistic Physics

Quaternions, Clifford Algebras and Relativistic Physics by Patrick R. Girard.

The use of Clifford algebras in mathematical physics and engineering has grown rapidly in recent years. Whereas other developments have priviledged a geometric approach, the author uses an algebraic approach which can be introduced as a tensor product of quaternion algebras and provides a unified ca...
