Tensors and the Clifford Algebra

This practical reference and text presents the applications of tensors Lie groups and algebra to Maxwell Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations making elementary theoretical physics comprehensible and high-level theoretical physics accessible. ;Providing the fundamental mathematics necessary to understand the applications Tensors and the Clifford Algebra offers lucid discussions of covariant tensor calculus; examines subjects from a variety of perspectives; supplies highly detailed developments of all calculations; employs the language of physics in its explanations; and illustrates the use of Clifford algebra and tensor calculus in studying bosons and fermions. ;With over 2800 display equations and 14 appendixes this book should be a useful reference for mathematical physicists and applied mathematicians and an important text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in quantum mechanics relativity electromagnetism theoretical physics elasticity and field theory courses.
