This book is an exposition of the algebra and calculus of differentialforms, of the Clifford and Spin-Clifford bundle formalisms, and of vistas to aformulation of important concepts of differential geometry indispensable for anin-depth understanding of space-time physics. The formalism discloses the hidden geometrical nature of spinor fields.

An exposition of the algebra and calculus of differential forms, the Clifford and Spin-Clifford bundles formalisms with emphasis in calculation procedures, and vistas to a formulation of some important concepts of differential geometry necessary for an understanding of spacetime physics.

Addressing graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics and mathematics, this volume presents a new formulation of the theory of gravity. New mathematical concepts are introduced, which illustrate the deformation of geometries, the key to describing the gravitational field.
