Answer 3

lol i love clifford! but is there actually a thing called clifford algebras? :O

Answer 4

This is a rather hard concept to understand but here is what I know...CliffordAlgebra, and the main difference from vector algebra as taught, is that multiplying two vector objects a and b can be written as

ab = a.b + ab

in a space of any number of dimensions. It is not assumed that

ab = ba

and in general it will not be. Here the two parts are defined as

a.b = (ab + ba)/2 = b.a
ab = (ab - ba)/2 = -ba

a.b is a scalar quantity and is the equivalent of the vector dot product. If a.b = 0 for two nonzero vectors, they are orthogonal.

ab is known as the exterior product, defined in the work of Grassmann. It is related to, but not the same as, the vector cross product ab which is only defined in three dimensions. If ab = 0 for two nonzero vectors, then they are parallel.

You need to notice that this definition does not depend in any way on a choice of axes for the space.

Answer 5

I hope this helps you out somewhat! :)

Answer 6

My knowledge of Clifford algebras isn't that great...so someone else might be able to help you more. This is just the basics I know. :) Lol good luck to you man!

Answer 7

Wow, seems.... complicated haha and very complex!

Never even knew such a thing existed!
