Cambridge Let me add one more reference: Theodore Frankel's book: The Geometry of Physics. The Faculty of Science (FNWI) at Radboud University Nijmegen is responsible for research and teaching in mathematics, physics, astronomy, chemistry, biology, and computer science. A New Strategy to Differential Geometry using Clifford's Geometric Algebra simplifies the dialogue to an accessible level of differential geometry by introducing Clifford algebra. Those with a graduate education in physics are already familiar with the Geometric Algebra (GA) in that it is equivalent to the Gamma matrices used throughout quantum field theory. As DSM notes below, I am not after the cross product calculation, but the geometric product calculation as found in geometric algebra. DG - Clifford Algebra / Differential Forms in Differential Geometry is being discussed at Physics Forums. What geometric product calculation? The theory of Clifford algebras for real vector spaces V is rather complicated. This can be generalized to establish directional uncertainty principles in Clifford geometric algebras with quaternion subalgebras. I'm undertaking a self-study of geometric algebra and differential forms. Mathematics for at least two centuries. The case of most interest in physics is V=\mathbf R^4, (\cdot,\cdot) the Minkowski inner product of signature (3,1). It is very "Geometric algebra for physicists". Fourier-Mukai and Nahm Transforms in Geometry and Mathematical Physics. The notorious way to use geometry in physics is by means of Gibbs' vector calculus, which became widespread in physical sciences and engineering. In the last three decades the development of a number of novel ideas in algebraic geometry, category .
