Mathematics of CLIFFORD - A Maple package for Clifford and Grassmann algebras
CLIFFORD performs various computations in Grassmann and Clifford algebras. It
can compute with quaternions, octonions, and matrices with entries in Cl(B) -
the Clifford algebra of a vector space V endowed with an arbitrary bilinear
form B. Two user-selectable algorithms for Clifford product are implemented:
'cmulNUM' - based on Chevalley's recursive formula, and 'cmulRS' - based on
non-recursive Rota-Stein sausage. Grassmann and Clifford bases can be used.
Properties of reversion in undotted and dotted wedge bases are discussed.Comment: 24 pages, update contains new material included in published versio
