This International Conference on Clifford AlgebrfU and Their
Application, in Math ematical Phy,ic, is the third in a series of
conferences on this theme, which started at the Univer,ity of Kent
in Canterbury in 1985 and was continued at the Univer,iU de,
Science, et Technique, du Languedoc in Montpellier in 1989. Since
the start of this series of Conferences the research fields under
consideration have evolved quite a lot. The number of scientific
papers on Clifford Algebra, Clifford Analysis and their impact on
the modelling of physics phenomena have increased tremendously and
several new books on these topics were published. We were very
pleased to see old friends back and to wellcome new guests who by
their inspiring talks contributed fundamentally to tracing new
paths for the future development of this research area. The
Conference was organized in Deinze, a small rural town in the
vicinity of the University town Gent. It was hosted by De Ceder, a
vacation and seminar center in a green area, a typical landscape of
Flanders's "plat pays" . The Conference was attended by 61
participants coming from 18 countries; there were 10 main talks on
invitation, 37 contributions accepted by the Organizing Com mittee
and a poster session. There was also a book display of Kluwer
Academic Publishers. As in the Proceedings of the Canterbury and
Montpellier conferences we have grouped the papers accordingly to
the themes they are related to: Clifford Algebra, Clifford
Analysis, Classical Mechanics, Mathematical Physics and Physics
Models.

has put common sense back Jules Verne where it belongs, on the
topmost shelf next to the dusty canister labelled 'discarded non
sense', The series is divergent; therefore we may be Eric T. Bell
able to do something with it. O. Heaviside Mathematics is a tool
for thought. A highly necessary tool in a world where both feedback
and non linearities abound. Similarly, all kinds of parts of
mathematics serve as tools for other parts and for other sciences.
Applying a simple rewriting rule to the quote on the right above
one finds such statements as: 'One service topology has rendered

puter science ...'; 'One service category theory has rendered
mathematics, ..'. All arguably true. And all statements obtainable
this way form part of the raison d'elre of this series."
In its traditional form, Clifford analysis provides the function
theory for solutions of the Dirac equation. From the beginning,
however, the theory was used and applied to problems in other
fields of mathematics, numerical analysis, and mathematical
physics. recently, the theory has enlarged its scope considerably
by incorporating geometrical methods from global analysis on
manifolds and methods from representation theory. New, interesting
branches of the theory are based on conformally invariant,
first-order systems other than the Dirac equation, or systems that
are invariant with respect to a group other than the conformal
group. This book represents an up-to-date review of Clifford
analysis in its present form, its applications, and directions for
future research. Readership: Mathematicians and theoretical
physicists interested in Clifford analysis itself, or in its
applications to other fields.
