  • Vectors and Beyond: Geometric Algebra and Its Philosophical
    dialectica Vol. 63, N° 4 (2010), pp. 381–395 DOI: 10.1111/j.1746-8361.2009.01214.x Vectors and Beyond: Geometric Algebra and its Philosophical Significancedltc_1214 381..396 Peter Simons† In mathematics, like in everything else, it is the Darwinian struggle for life of ideas that leads to the survival of the concepts which we actually use, often believed to have come to us fully armed with goodness from some mysterious Platonic repository of truths. Simon Altmann 1. Introduction The purpose of this paper is to draw the attention of philosophers and others interested in the applicability of mathematics to a quiet revolution that is taking place around the theory of vectors and their application. It is not that new math- ematics is being invented – on the contrary, the basic concepts are over a century old – but rather that this old theory, having languished for many decades as a quaint backwater, is being rediscovered and properly applied for the first time. The philosophical importance of this quiet revolution is not that new applications for old mathematics are being found. That presumably happens much of the time. Rather it is that this new range of applications affords us a novel insight into the reasons why vectors and their mathematical kin find application at all in the real world. Indirectly, it tells us something general but interesting about the nature of the spatiotemporal world we all inhabit, and that is of philosophical significance. Quite what this significance amounts to is not yet clear. I should stress that nothing here is original: the history is quite accessible from several sources, and the mathematics is commonplace to those who know it.

Break– 1665 — Saint-Gobain In October 1665, King Louis 14th of France granted a charter to minister Jean-Baptiste Colbert for a new glass and mirror making company, the Royal Mirror Glass Factory. With glassmaking expertise in the 17th century monopolized by Venice, the new company brought valuable Venetian glass makers, and their rare knowledge, across the Alps. After 365 years of prosperity and expansion with orders from the royal household (including the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles), today Saint-Gobain is a out global supplier and innovator of high- performance and sustainable materials (including glass) across a broad range of industries including construction, mobility, health and manufacturing. 1875 — Toshiba In 1875 Hisashige Tanaka opened Tanaka Engineering Works in Tokyo, manufacturing telegraphic equipment.

Introduction When I was approached by the editors of Physics in Perspecti6e to prepare an article on New York City for The Physical Tourist section, I was happy to do so. I have been a New Yorker all my life, except for short-term stays elsewhere on sabbatical leaves and other visits. My professional life developed in New York, and I married and raised my family in New York and its environs. Accordingly, writing such an article seemed a natural thing to do. About halfway through its preparation, however, the attack on the World Trade Center took place.

  • The Construction of Spinors in Geometric Algebra
    The Construction of Spinors in Geometric Algebra Matthew R. Francis∗ and Arthur Kosowsky† Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, Rutgers University 136 Frelinghuysen Road, Piscataway, NJ 08854 (Dated: February 4, 2008) The relationship between spinors and Clifford (or geometric) algebra has long been studied, but little consistency may be found between the various approaches. However, when spinors are defined to be elements of the even subalgebra of some real geometric algebra, the gap between algebraic, geometric, and physical methods is closed. Spinors are developed in any number of dimensions from a discussion of spin groups, followed by the specific cases of U(1), SU(2), and SL(2, C) spinors. The physical observables in Schr¨odinger-Pauli theory and Dirac theory are found, and the relationship between Dirac, Lorentz, Weyl, and Majorana spinors is made explicit. The use of a real geometric algebra, as opposed to one defined over the complex numbers, provides a simpler construction and advantages of conceptual and theoretical clarity not available in other approaches. I. INTRODUCTION Spinors are used in a wide range of fields, from the quantum physics of fermions and general relativity, to fairly abstract areas of algebra and geometry. Independent of the particular application, the defining characteristic of spinors is their behavior under rotations: for a given angle θ that a vector or tensorial object rotates, a spinor rotates by θ/2, and hence takes two full rotations to return to its original configuration. The spin groups, which are universal coverings of the rotation groups, govern this behavior, and are frequently defined in the language of geometric (Clifford) algebras [1, 2].

    American Association of Physics Teachers FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Mary Beth Monroe Recognized for Creative Leadership in Physics Education College Park, Maryland, United States, October 29, 2009 —The American Associa- tion of Physics Teachers (AAPT) announced today that The Melba Newell Phillips Medal has been awarded to Mary Beth Monroe, Professor of Physics at Southwest Texas Junior College, in recognition of her creative leadership and dedicated service that have resulted in exceptional contributions within AAPT. The Medal will be presented to at a Ceremonial Session of the AAPT Winter Meeting at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, DC, on Monday, February 15, 2010. Lila Adair, Chairman, AAPT Awards Committee, said, “Mary Beth is an amazing lady. She has dedicated her entire ca- reer to sharing her passion for physics and AAPT with her students, colleagues and fellow AAPT members. She is one of the few experts I turn to for the institutional history of AAPT, and I am so proud to be presenting the Phillips Medal to her.” As a long time AAPT member, Monroe has quietly and tenaciously served the organization at the state and national level for more than three decades. She served as AAPT Secretary and Chair of the Publications Committee from 2001-2007 and is currently serving as a member of the Committee on the Interests of Senior Physicists and as Chair of the Gover- nance Review Committee. She has played a leading role in developing networks among physicists teaching in Two Year Colleges that have led both to their increasing involvement in AAPT and to better teaching for the students who study physics in these schools “The Melba Newell Phillips Medal is AAPT’s highest recognition for member leadership and service.

  • The Genesis of Geometric Algebra: a Personal Retrospective
    Adv. Appl. Clifford Algebras 27 (2017), 351–379 c 2016 The Author(s). This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com 0188-7009/010351-29 published online April 11, 2016 Advances in DOI 10.1007/s00006-016-0664-z Applied Clifford Algebras The Genesis of Geometric Algebra: A Personal Retrospective David Hestenes* Abstract. Even today mathematicians typically typecast Clifford Al- gebra as the “algebra of a quadratic form,” with no awareness of its grander role in unifying geometry and algebra as envisaged by Clifford himself when he named it Geometric Algebra. It has been my privilege to pick up where Clifford left off—to serve, so to speak, as principal architect of Geometric Algebra and Calculus as a comprehensive math- ematical language for physics, engineering and computer science. This is an account of my personal journey in discovering, revitalizing and ex- tending Geometric Algebra, with emphasis on the origin and influence of my book Space-Time Algebra. I discuss guiding ideas, significant re- sults and where they came from—with recollection of important events and people along the way. Lastly, I offer some lessons learned about life and science. 1. Salutations I am delighted and honored to join so many old friends and new faces in celebrating the 50th anniversary of my book Space-Time Algebra (STA). That book launched my career as a theoretical physicist and the journey that brought us here today. Let me use this opportunity to recall some highlights of my personal journey and offer my take on lessons to be learned. The first lesson follows: 2.
