Spinors | Linear algebra

Spinors in three dimensions

In mathematics, the spinor concept as specialised to three dimensions can be treated by means of the traditional notions of dot product and cross product. This is part of the detailed algebraic discussion of the rotation group SO(3). (Wikipedia).

What is a Four-Vector? Is a Spinor a Four-Vector? | Special Relativity

In special relativity, we are dealing a lot with four-vectors, but what exactly is a four-vector? A four-vector is an object with four entries, which get transformed and changed in a very special way after we change our frame of reference. More precisely, a four-vector transforms like a (1

Quaternions as 4x4 Matrices - Connections to Linear Algebra

In math, it's usually possible to view an object or concept from many different (but equivalent) angles. In this video, we will see that the quaternions may be viewed as 4x4 real-valued matrices of a special form. What is interesting here is that if you know how to multiply matrices, you a
