| Details | Conventional illustrations of the rich elementary relations and physical applications of geometric algebra are helpful, but restricted in communicating full generality and time dependence. Up till now very little animated and fully interactive, free, instant access, online material is available.
This report presents therefore a set of over 90 newly developed (freely online accessible) JAVA applets. These applets range from the elementary concepts of vector, bivector, outer product and rotations to triangle relationships, oscillations and polarized waves. A special group of 21 applets illustrates three geometrically different approaches to the representation of conics; and even more ways to describe ellipses. |
