Reviews
From the reviews:
“This textbook addresses graduate students and researchers interested in quantum mechanics. … The author creates a very readable and well-accessible account of this new approach to quantum mechanics. … The basic endeavor of the book is a full translation of quantum mechanics into the real and invariant language of the Clifford algebra of space-time.” (Eckhard M. S. Hitzer, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 m)
