DESCRIPTION:
This book is about the beasts I selected for attention (if you will, to ren der this metaphor politically correct, let's say I was a nature photographer), and the kind of tools I had to develop to get the kind of shots Iwanted (the tools that I found there were for my taste overly abstract and theoretical). I settled down there some years ago and have never feIt like Ieaving. The rest is devoted to a demonstration of the intimate connection between the mathematics of the division algebras and the Standard Model of q
Mathematics behind physics A Customer This is an excellent book for those who want to study Hamilton's quaternions, and other algebraic structures, used in modern physics. Dixon believes that octonions and triality of Spin(8) are essential in understanding particle physics. This clear exposition contains many ideas which have gone unnoticed from other researchers. The book is a treasure trove for mathematical physicists. The author also compares the Cayley algebra of octonions to other algebraic systems used in physics: matrices and Clifford algebras, in particular the Dirac algebra.. PARVIZ MERAT said I am waiting for Dixon 's Octonians. I have not yet received my command. P. MERAT
