Spinors and Space-Time: Volume 1, Two-Spinor Calculus and Relativistic Fields - Paperback

by Roger Penrose (Author), Penrose Roger (Author), Rindler Wolfgang (Author)

This volume introduces and systematically develops the calculus of 2-spinors. This is the first detailed exposition of this technique which leads not only to a deeper understanding of the structure of space-time, but also provides shortcuts to some very tedious calculations. Many results are given here for the first time.
