The talk will be introductory in nature, being mainly concerned with the construction and key properties of Clifford algebras for real and complex vector spaces furnished with non-degenerate quadratic forms of arbitrary rank and signature.
Full details are in my book Clifford Algebras and the Classical Groups, CUP, 1995, but I shall also be able to provide a preprint from the proceedings of a Conference at the University of Tennessee, held in May 2002.
