Summary
Unleashing Clifford Algebras: A Physicist’s Toolkit
Clifford algebras have evolved into an essential tool for physicists exploring the frontiers of theoretical investigations. Their applications span a wide spectrum of physics, from special relativity and the dynamics of rotating tops to general relativity and Dirac’s equation describing the electron.
In certain domains of physics, Clifford algebras have become indispensable, and their utility is expanding in other areas, in…

Critics Review
“A wonderful book…I have browsed through it while occupied with several other competing projects. In the process I have internalized the classification of Clifford algebras, learned how physicists use Dirac’s equation, what they are doing when they talk about gauge theory, understood Hodge duality much better and so the codifferential operator. And I still have only browsed through a small portion of the text. I think we mathematicians should study [the] bookto learn how to improve our own levels of exposition.” –Daniel H. Gottlieb, Department of Mathematics, Purdue University”…this text will be most useful to research students and other scientists who need a satisfactory level of completeness and intellegebility to use Cliffod algebras as a computational tool.“–Mathematical Reviews”A wonderful book…I have browsed through it while occupied with several other competing projects.
