[edit] Is this article needed ?

I seriously question the need for writing a whole article on the Dirac equation using a certain formalism - also, this can easily get out of hand: articles on Einstein's equations using various formalisms, Schrodinger equation etc... ? Let's not fall into the trap of writing a textbook here (there are other places where that can be done - Wikibooks). If this topic needs to be discussed, then surely it can be included in the Dirac equation article itself. MP (talk) 09:02, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

  • I am the original author of this article. After some positive feedback I decide to keep it here. This article cannot be part of the Dirac equation

itself because of the potential to be expanded extensively. Three are only two formalisms of the Dirac equation using geometric algebra and both have the characteristic of being matrix free and therefore the standard approach can be considered only as an instance in some matrix representation Cabrer7 21:27, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
