Describes orthgonal and related Lie groups, using real or complex parameters and

indefinite metrics. Develops theory of spinors by giving a purely geometric

definition of these mathematical entities. Covers generalities on the group of

rotations in n-dimensional space, the theory of spinors in spaces of any number

of dimensions and much more.
