How Is Clifford Algebra Applied in Particle Physics and Field Theory?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need for resources on Clifford algebra, particularly in the context of particle physics and field theory. A recommended book is "Geometric Algebra for Physicists" by Doran and Lasenby, which is highlighted as a key reference. Additionally, a set of notes based on this book is available on GitHub, providing further insights into geometric algebra and its applications in physics.

Hello,

My courses in particle physics and filed theory use several notations in clifford algebra which I have never met before. Could anyone provides me some useful books for clifford algebra in physics?

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
