Geometric algebra is still treated as an obscure branch of algebra and most books have been written by competent mathematicians in a very abstract style. This restricts the readership of such books especially by programmers working in computer graphics, who simply want guidance on algorithm design.
Geometric algebra provides a unified algebraic system for solving a wide variety of geometric problems. John Vince reveals the beauty of this algebraic framework and communicates to the reader new and unusual mathematical concepts using colour illustrations, tabulations, and easy-to-follow algebraic proofs.
The book includes many worked examples to show how the algebra ... Read more

Reviews for Geometric Algebra
From the reviews: “Geometric algebra (GA), a truly fascinating area of mathematics, provides a powerful, unified language of exceptional clarity and generality to describe one-, two-, three-, and higher-dimensional geometries. … This book’s outstanding feature is the use of tables and colors to develop some arithmetical details. … The book is better suited for self-study than for the classroom. ...
