The book contains eight Chapters. The first Chapter is named as Elementary Number Theory

and Algebra, where in the latter we introduce groups, rings, and fields as well as complex

numbers over finite fields. Within the next Chapter on Algebraic Analysis, we give the

definition of functions, both algebraic and transcendental, differential and integral calculus,

and elements of complex functions. Chapter 3 treats usual topics of Linear Algebra, like

vectors and matrices, the Jordan canonical form as well as the calculation of the matrix

exponential function and its inverse. Euclidean geometry of circles, 3-balls, and n-balls with

an excursion to pseudo-Euclidean geometry of circles as well as symplectic and differential

geometry are treated in Chapter four. Several algebras, like Lie-, Grassmann-, Cliffordalgebras

are subject to Chapter 5, where we also include a Section on elementary graph theory.

In the next Chapter the orders or classical matrix Lie-groups are derived, where as an aside we

rediscover the octahedron group. Chapter 7 and 8 contain systems theory and the formulation

of elementary physical theories as mechanics, electrodynamics, and quantum mechanics,

respectively.
