Geometric Algebra Library (again)
I couldn't reply to the original post but I found Boost++ disussion on this topic between Ken Hagan, Jaap Suter and Hubert Holin on Google. Since quaternions and octonions are already part of the library I would second the opinion that more generic Geometric Algebra library would be one useful addition. Tony

And a way to represent output Graphically ;-) regards Andy Little

One implementation can be found at: http://www.nklein.com/products/geoma/ Combining this with existing quaternions and octonions could be, at worst, an interesting exercise. I admit I am tempted, if for no other reason then to test my own understanding of template specializations, possibly traits, etc. As for everyday, practical uses, initially they may be restricted to some areas of mathematical physics (some theories of gravity and possible numerical simulations) but, given that we already have quaternions and octonions, I see no harm in that.
