Extract

Several recent papers (Bastin and Kilmister(1),(2); Newman(3),(4)) have made the role of algebraic structures in physics the subject of detailed discussion. The general purpose of this work has not been to discover new physical laws or predict new results, but rather to give the theoretical physicist some further insight into the significance of familiar concepts. This is, of course, being done in the hope that it will lead to new refinements in our theoretical techniques.
