Beschreibung:
Chris Doran is Associate Professor of Religion at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. His research and teaching have been on a variety of areas related to the interaction between theology and science. His current work focuses on developing theological responses to climate change and its effects on human and nonhuman creatures as well as the rest of creation.
This book provides an introduction to geometric algebra, covering applications such as black hole physics and quantum computing. Suitable for researchers working in the fields of relativity and quantum theory, it can also be used as a graduate text for courses on the physical applications of geometric algebra.
