Baylis | 视频video | | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | This volume is an outgrowth of the 1995 Summer School on Theoretical Physics of the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP), held in Banff, Alberta, in the Canadian Rockies, from July 30 to August 12,1995. The chapters, based on lectures given at the School, are designed to be tutorial in nature, and many include exercises to assist the learning process. Most lecturers gave three or four fifty-minute lectures aimed at relative novices in the field. More emphasis is therefore placed on pedagogy and establishing comprehension than on erudition and superior scholarship. Of course, new and exciting results are presented in applications of Clifford algebras, but in a coherent and user-friendly way to the nonspecialist. The subject area of the volume is Clifford algebra and its applications. Through the geometric language of the Clifford-algebra approach, many concepts in physics are clarified, united, and extended in new and sometimes surprising directions. In particular, the approach eliminates the formal gaps that traditionally separate clas sical, quantum, and relativistic physics. It thereby makes the study of physics more efficient and the research more penetrating, and it sugges | 出版日期 | Conference proceedings 1996 | 关键词 | Albert Einstein; Physics; Potential; Riemannian geometry; Theoretical physics; algebra; covariant derivati | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4612-4104-1 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4612-8654-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4612-4104-1 | copyright | Birkhäuser Boston 1996 |
