Geometric algebra

Geometric algebra, which is almost the same as Clifford algebra, is related to Grassman algebra. That is the stuff with wedge products. I've been looking in to it. I found this page:

http://staff.science.uva.nl/~leo/clifford/

which links to this two-part paper:

http://www.science.uva.nl/~leo/clifford/dorst-mann-I.pdf

http://www.science.uva.nl/~leo/clifford/dorst-mann-II.pdf

As the wedge product is a part of geometric algebra, this may be as good a way of any of learning about wedge products. So those of you who don't like the incomplete Grassman algebra book could have a look at it.

Thanks for that Graham.
