Understanding geometric algebra for electromagnetic theory. (Q2897173)

This book promotes the understanding of geometric algebra as a straightforward mathematical toolset for both working with and appreciating the fundamentals of electromagnetic theory. The text introduces new ideas gradually and goes into considerable detail in giving explanations and working out equations. After an introduction to geometric algebra, the book shows how to apply it to some basic concepts. Then the essential toolset is developed, allowing for the application of geometric algebra more generally. Through geometric algebra, the reader will discover how to tackle the electromagnetic theory of moving charges in a systematic yet uncomplicated way. In later chapters, the book provides a self-contained primer on the spacetime approach that seeks to avoid the usual conceptual difficulties of special relativity.NEWLINENEWLINE This book will benefit scientists and engineers who use electromagnetic theory in the course of their work.
