Hi @jdekozak ,

Just noted your work from Github's "Used by" feature. Just out of curiosity,

  1. wonder if you have also noticed D. Hestenes' paper series(which I believe is closely related to your work, at least for the Physics insight part):
  2. wonder if you have encountered any problems when using GAlgebra or any feature wishlist.

Regards,

Utensil

Hi,

  1. Thanks a lot for the links, I was not aware of any of them, they are very recent, and my work is in sleeping mode for almost 2 years. I am only a hobbyist. I am going to take a tour as soon as I have time for it. But one thing that should be noticed is that Hestenes works with STA that is Cl1,3(R) while I am looking at Cl1.4(R).

  2. On the library, I have nothing to say, it simply works great ! It comes fully packaged with PyPi, it is usable in a Jupyter notebook with binder out-of-the-box. I can think only of few things that could make the experience even better,

    • getting the same level of integration and usability for a visualisation package, and a numerical package,
    • increasing the number of available notebooks that uses GAlgebra, giving more and more examples to a broader audience.

Regards, Julien

@jdekozak for the numerical package if you want to stay in python then https://github.com/pygae/clifford might suit your needs! Our goal with the whole https://github.com/pygae group is to make a compatible (or at least fairly compatible) set of tools. With regard to visualisation given you are in Cl(1,4) you might be able to use cast some of your entities to Cl(4,1) and use https://github.com/pygae/pyganja (bascially just a wrapper for https://github.com/enkimute/ganja.js/)... :) Hugo
