The Many Faces of Maxwell, Dirac and Einstein Equations A Clifford Bundle Approach /

This book is an exposition of the algebra and calculus of differential forms, of the Clifford and Spin-Clifford bundle formalisms, and of vistas to a formulation of important concepts of differential geometry indispensable for an in-depth understanding of space-time physics. The formalism discloses...
