A unifying mathematical formalism for science

As the main approach inherent in this project involved the use of rotations in Geometric Algebra, we were required to learn the basics of GA with the help of Dr James Chapel. James graciously provided us with his personal powerpoint slides that proved to be an invaluable resource in learning the new materiala as well as a brief worksheet to test your knowledge on GA. Both are provided below.

Intro to Clifford's Geometric Algebra & Worksheet #1 in Geometric Algebra

The following description/brief introduction to the fundamental elements of GA is a combination of James' two documents above and numerous other sources.

"...it is a good thing to have two ways of looking at a subject, and to admit that there are two ways of looking at it.” James Clerk Maxwell
