Lectures on Clifford (Geometric) Algebras and Applications (Paperback, 2004 ed.)

This text, written by established mathematicians and physicists, provides a systematic, unified exposition of Clifford (geometric) algebras. Beginning with an introductory chapter, the book covers the mathematical structure of Clifford algebras and the basic concepts of Clifford analysis, and then provides a detailed examination of the many applications of Clifford algebras to differential geometry, physics, computer vision and robotics. No prior knowledge of the subject is assumed. The book 's breadth will appeal to graduate students and researchers in mathematics, physics, and engineering.
