DESCRIPTION:
Examples of this are peppered throughout ‘Space-Time Algebra’, despite its short length, and some of them are effectively still research topics for the future.From the Foreward by Anthony Lasenby. This is the remarkable insight it gives to physical problems, and the way it constantly suggests new features of the physics itself, not just the mathematics. It provides a unified approach covering all these areas and thus leads to a very efficient ‘toolkit’ for use in physical problems including quantum mechanics, classical mechanics, electromagnetism and relativity (both special and general) – only one mathematical system needs to
"book: Space Time Algebra" according to Amazon Customer. This book was first published 50 years ago, says the author. In this second edition, essentially nothing has to be updated. This book is a foundation for a number of seminal texts written since then. The author has been an American messiah for the application of Geometric Algebra to the study of physics, and this book takes that study to the narrow field of Relativity (both Special and General).

These same techniques, in the form of the ‘Geometric Algebra’, can be applied in many areas of engineering, robotics and computer science, with no changes necessary – it is the same underlying mathematics, and enables physicists to understand topics in engineering, and engineers to understand topics in physics (including aspects in frontier areas), in a way which no other single math
