Description: The first of its kind, this book uses geometric algebra to present an innovative approach to elementary and advanced mathematics, extending the real number system to include the concept of direction, which underpins much of modern mathematics and physics.

Review Quotes:

From the book reviews:

"This book is suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in learning how W. K. Clifford's geometric algebras provide a common, geometrically well-interpreted algebraic language for linear algebra, vector calculus, linear operators, forms, relativity, symmetry, differential geometry, non-Euclidean and projective geometry as well as Lie algebras. Every section is followed by an appropriate set of exercises, deepening and consolidating the section's content." (Eckhard M. S. Hitzer, Mathematical Reviews, July, 2014)
