This note explains new techniques in Geometric Algebra
through their applications, rather than as purely formal mathematics. It
introduces Geometric Algebra as a new mathematical technique to add to your
existing base as a theoretician or experimentalist.
This note explans the following topics: Vector space Vn over scalars such
as IR, The clifford geometric products, Inner and outer products, Bivectors in
the standard model, Bivectors in the homogeneous model, Perpendicularity,
Reflection through communication, Duality and subspace representation.
