Table of ContentsIntroduction 1: A Taste of Clifford Algebra in Euclidean 3-Space 2: A Sample of Clifford Algebra in Minkowski 4-Space 3: Clifford Algebra for Flat n-Dimensional Spaces 4: Curved Spaces Embedded in Higher Dimensional Flat Spaces 5: The Use of Fock-Ivanenko 2-Vectors to Obtain the Schwarzschild Metric 6: The Schwarzschild Metric via Fock-Ivanenko 2-Vectors 7: Two Differential Operators 8: Dirac's Equation for the Electron 9: The Kerr Metric by an Elementary Brute Force Method 10: Petrov's Canonical Forms for the Weyl Tensor and Another Approach to the Kerr Metric 11: Matrix Representations and Classifications of Clifford Algebras Appendix Bibliography IndexReviews<br> 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] book to learn how to improve our own levels of exposition. --Daniel H. Gottlieb, Department of Mathematics, Purdue University<br>. ..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<br> A wonderful book...I have browsed through it while occupied with several other competing projects.
