A. N. Whitehead's Geometric Algebra
by Stephen Blake
2005
Number of pages: 280
Description:
On one hand this is a text on 3-d Euclidean computational geometry intended to be used in engineering applications. On the other hand, the methods of Whitehead's algebra enable us to readily deal with Euclidean and non-Euclidean spaces of any dimension, so it is natural that applications to the physics of space-time continually present themselves, inviting study.
