This book covers the following
topics: The inner, outer, and geometric products, Geometric algebra in
Euclidean space, projections, reflections, and rotations, Frames and
bases, Linear algebra.
These course notes represent
Prof. Tisza's attempt at bringing conceptual clarity and unity to the
application and interpretation of advanced mathematical tools. In particular,
there is an emphasis on the unifying role that Group theory plays in classical,
relativistic, and quantum physics.
