This new edition of a classic textfashions onDirac algebra into a unified, coordinate-free mathematical language for both classical and quantum physics that articulates smoothly with standard vector algebra and provides a powerful alternative to matrix and tensor algebras. The standard set of Maxwel[...]
Matrix algebra has been called "the arithmetic of higher mathematics" [Be]. We think the basis for a better arithmetic has long been available, but its versatility has hardly been appreciated, and it has not yet been integrated into the mainstream of mathematics. We refer to the system commonly call[...]
