This approach reveals unity in diversity and suggests relationships\nthat are hidden in the standard formalisms and opens new paths for research.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis thoroughly revised second edition also adds three new chapters: on the Clifford\nbundle approach to the Riemannian or semi-Riemannian differential geometry of\nbranes; on Komar currents in the context of the General Relativity theory; and\nan analysis of the similarities and main differences between Dirac, Majorana\nand ELKO spinor fields.\u003cbr\u003eThe exercises with solutions, the\ncomprehensive list of mathematical symbols, and the list of acronyms and\nabbreviations are provided for self-study for students as well as for classes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the reviews of the first\nedition:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The text is written in a very\nreadable manner and is complemented with plenty of worked-out exercises which\nare in the style of extended examples. ... their book could also serve as a\ntextbook for graduate students in physics or mathematics.\" (Alberto\nMolgado, Mathematical Reviews, 2008 k)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-04-27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319276366\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-27637-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 587\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481403846796,"sku":"9783319276366","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319276366.jpg?v=1776426791","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319276366","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
