  1. xvi, 252 pages : illustrations; 25 cm
Summary
  1. "Since its invention, geometric algebra has been applied to various branches of physics such as cosmology and electrodynamics, and is now being embraced by the computer graphics community where it is providing new ways of solving geometric problems. It took over two thousand years to discover this algebra, which uses a simple and consistent notation to describe vectors and their products. John Vince tackles this new subject and provides an accessible and very readable introduction."--Jacket.
