Summary:

This book on the theory of three-dimensional spinors and their applications fills an important gap in the literature. It gives an introductory treatment of spinors. From the reviews: -- "Gathers much of what can be done with 3-D spinors in an easy-to-read, self-contained form designed for applications that will supplement many available spinor treatments. The book should be appealing to graduate students and researchers in relativity and mathematical physics." - MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS
