Quaternions, Clifford Algebras and Relativistic Physics

Quaternions, Clifford Algebras and Relativistic Physics

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