Grassmann Algebra: Exploring extended vector algebra with Mathematica
The primary purpose of this book is to provide a readable account in modern notation of Grassmann's major algebraic contributions to mathematics and science. I would like it to be accessible to scientists and engineers, students and professionals alike. Consequently I have tried to avoid all mathematical terminology which does not make an essential contribution to understanding the basic concepts. The only assumption I have made about the reader's background is that they have some familiarity with basic vector algebra.
