Product Description
Quarternionic calculus covers a branch of mathematics which uses computational techniques to help solve problems from a wide variety of physical systems which are mathematically modelled in 3, 4 or more dimensions. Examples of the application areas include thermodynamics, hydrodynamics, geophysics and structural mechanics. Focusing on the Clifford algebra approach the authors have drawn together the research into quarternionic calculus to provide the non-expert or research student with an accessible introduction to the subject. This book fills the gap between the theoretical representations and the requirements of the user.

Useful for beginners as well as for researchers. May 19, 2000

Hypercomplex analysis is experimenting a "boom" nowadays, and the mathematical community waited for a long time before the first introductory text appeared. This is it. Any student willing to enter this discipline is got here a concise and comprehensive introduction which will also serve as a reference for further study and research.Contents: Quaternions and multivectors, Clifford-valued functions and forms, Clifford operator calculus, boundary value problems, numerical Clifford analysis, further results and research problems. Appendices: Exact computations of the Theodorescu transform, discrete fundamental solutions, discrete Theodorescu transform. It is worth mentioning that this book is almost the only one covering the discrete case of hypercomplex analysis. Includes full motivation and historical notes, and extensive references. Just be careful with some typos. Please read the rest of my reviews (just click on my name above).
