Geometric algebra makes every area of physics more accessible. These are an important tool in many branches of mathematics - algebraic topology, K-theory, representation theory and in theoretical physics. In my previous post I wrote about Geometric Algebra generalities. Some years ago, Lasenby, Doran and Gull of the Cambridge geometry group, rewrote general relativity using Clifford algebra instead of tensors. Paper Niels Gresnigt's, “Relativistic Physics in the Clifford Algebra Cl(1, 3)” The aim of these notes is to work through equivalents to many Clifford algebra expressions entirely in commutator and anticommutator notations. Thesis used the branch of math he helped develop, which is known either as Clifford algebra or (the term he preferred) geometry algebra. Clifford: The Geometry of Physics. Matrix representation for tridimensional space geometric algebra. We saw that the tridimensional space generate a geometric algebra of dimension \(2^3 = 8 = 1 + 3 + 3 + 1\) composed of four linear spaces: scalars, vectors, bivectors and pseudo-scalars. The outcome,in physics for example, would be that while the geometrical description using Relativity works for some of this, and tells you that some physical quantities have just gone crazy, the larger framework tells you that if you keep track of the right physical variables, the physics is quite readily accessible all the way . Francesco's notes about Maths, Physics, Computer Science Saturday, May 11, 2013. Clifford Algebra to Geometric Calculus: A Unified Language for Mathematics and Physics book download D. Clifford algebras in Classical Physics is being discussed at Physics Forums. Also, anyone interested in physics should look at geometric algebra. Before that I should say a bit more about Clifford algebras. Published because about 75% of my Ph.D. Here's a lovely quote that students will empathize with:"A recent study on the use of vectors by introductory physics students summarized the conclusions in two words: "vector avoidance".
