Notes	Chapter 1- Mathematical background -- Chapter 2- Grassmann algebra -- Chapter 3- Geometric Algebra -- Chapter 4- Orthogonal geometry with GA -- Chapter 5- Zooming in on rotor groups -- Chapter 6- Postfaces -- References This book explores the Lipschitz spinorial groups (versor, pinor, spinor and rotor groups) of a real non-degenerate orthogonal geometry (or orthogonal geometry, for short) and how they relate to the group of isometries of that geometry. After a concise mathematical introduction, it offers an axiomatic presentation of the geometric algebra of an orthogonal geometry. Once it has established the language of geometric algebra (linear grading of the algebra; geometric, exterior and interior products; involutions), it defines the spinorial groups, demonstrates their relation to the isometry groups, and illustrates their suppleness (geometric covariance) with a variety of examples. Lastly, the book provides pointers to major applications, an extensive bibliography and an alphabetic index. Combining the characteristics of a self-contained research monograph and a state-of-the-art survey, this book is a valuable foundation reference resource on applications for both undergraduate and graduate students HTTP:URL=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-00404-0
