Quaternionic and Clifford Calculus for Physicists and Engineers

Quaternionic and Clifford analysis have in recent years become increasingly important tools in the analysis of partial differential equations and their application in mathematical physics and engineering. This book reflects the main ideas in the field and covers quaternions and multivectors, Clifford valued functions and forms, Clifford operator calculus, boundary value problems, numerical Clifford analysis. Further results and research problems are also included The authors? intention is to equip the reader with the understanding necessary to adapt these methods to their own work. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the basics of complex function theory in one variable, functional analysis and algebra. With an ever increasing literature on quaternionic and Clifford analysis the need for an accessible and applicable book on the subject has never been greater. This volume meets this need and will be invaluable for students and researchers in mathematics, physics and engineering who wish to apply quaternionic and Clifford analysis in their work.Gürlebeck, Klaus is the author of 'Quaternionic and Clifford Calculus for Physicists and Engineers', published 1998 under ISBN 9780471962007 and ISBN 0471962007.
