Numerical Methods in Clifford Algebras -- Orthonormal basis sets in Clifford algebras -- Complex conjugation — relative to what? -- Object-oriented implementations of Clifford algebras in C++: a prototype Clifford algebras are at a crossing point in a variety of research areas, including abstract algebra, crystallography, projective geometry, quantum mechanics, differential geometry and analysis. For many researchers working in this field in ma- thematics and physics, computer algebra software systems have become indispensable tools in theory and applications. This edited survey book consists of 20 chapters showing application of Clifford algebra in quantum mechanics, field theory, spinor calculations, projective geometry, Hypercomplex algebra, function theory and crystallography. Many examples of computations performed with a variety of readily available software programs are presented in detail, i.e., Maple, Mathematica, Axiom, etc. A key feature of the book is that it shows how scientific knowledge can advance with the use of computational tools and software HTTP:URL=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4615-8157-4
