clifford: Arbitrary Dimensional Clifford Algebras

A suite of routines for Clifford algebras, using the 'Map' class of the Standard Template Library. Canonical reference: Hestenes (1987, ISBN 90-277-1673-0, "Clifford algebra to geometric calculus"). Special cases including Lorentz transforms, quaternion multiplication, and Grassmann algebra, are discussed. Vignettes presenting conformal geometric algebra, quaternions and split quaternions, dual numbers, and Lorentz transforms are included. The package follows 'disordR' discipline.
