In the realms of notebook paper, creativity is hunted down like an infection. Geometric algebra, or Clifford algebra, is a powerful mathematical language that contains vector algebra as a subsystem. Here's a lovely quote that students will empathize with:"A recent study on the use of vectors by introductory physics students summarized the conclusions in two words: "vector avoidance". McNamara, “Oblique superposition of two elliptically polarized lightwaves using geometric algebra: is energy–momentum conserved?,” J. Geometric algebra is not to be confused with algebraic geometry. This is demonstrated by examples from electromagnetism. The Faculty of Science (FNWI) at Radboud University Nijmegen is responsible for research and teaching in mathematics, physics, astronomy, chemistry, biology, and computer science. The Garland Independent School District serves the communities of Garland, Rowlett and Sachse, Texas. Analytic geometry could be moved into Algebra II – and there would be time as the “review” of solving systems wouldn't be needed as there wouldn't be the year off. Geometric algebra is also known as Clifford algebra which has many applications in physics and engineering. Algebraic and Combinatorial Aspects of Tropical Geometry.

Physics is greatly facilitated by the use of Hestenes' spacetime algebra, which automatically incorporates the geometric structure of spacetime. While a was a full-time physics and maths student, i seldom, if ever, thought of proving anything using a diagram, or any kind of non-algebraic method, for that matter. So, I'm looking for some valid reasons why this This connection is, on the one hand, natural (a 4-year old can tell a circle from an oval from a square) and, on the other hand, deep (geometry is the indispensible apparatus of classical mechanics and other physics).
