Algebraic and Differential Topology of Robust Stability

Editorial review

In this book, two seemingly unrelated fields -- algebraic topology and robust control -- are brought together. The book develops algebraic/differential topology from an application-oriented point of view. The book takes the reader on a pa

Clifford Algebra: A Computational Tool for Physicists

Editorial review

Reviewed by M de Wit, (Dallas, TX USA)

I would rate this book as a gem! To calibrate that let me say that I think Weinreich's Geometrical Vectors and Foster and Nightingale's General Relativity are gems. Chapter 1 gives a beautiful, clear and concise introduction to Clifford A

Snygg's book is a thoroughly delightful introduction to Clifford Algebra and its applications in physics. It is detailed, readable, and at times even humorous... but always clear and educational. Snygg presents Clifford Algebra above all

From a letter to the author. John, I have to write you to tell you what a wonderful book you wrote. I still can't believe how good it is. Yesterday I was waiting for a television show to begin in ten minutes and I picked your book up whil

The author writes in the Introduction: "Much of Clifford algebra is quite simple. If this fact were generally recognized, Clifford algebra would be more widely used as a computational tool." However, a few applications discussed
