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...
