Review text

The real algebra of \(4\times 4\) matrices generated by Dirac's \(\gamma\)- matrices is a faithful representation of the real Clifford algebra of 4- dimensional Minkowski space-time \(M\) as a full matrix algebra. As found by D. Hestenes, it is possible to deal with the electromagnetic, the weak, and the strong fields in a matrix-free way by use of this Clifford algebra. The author presents a coherent survey of algebraic properties of this Clifford algebra.
