Geometric Computing with Clifford Algebras Theoretical Foundations and Applications in Computer Vision and Robotics / edited by Gerald Sommer.

Clifford algebra, then called geometric algebra, was introduced more than a cenetury ago by William K. Clifford, building on work by Grassmann and Hamilton. Clifford or geometric algebra shows strong unifying aspects and turned out in the 1960s to be a most adequate formalism for describing differen...
