Sessions
An introduction to Geometric Algebra, with a focus on how it can (and can't) be used as a practical computational tool in Python. The discussion will present concrete examples which make use of the open source python library ‘Kingdon’. The audience should leave with a grasp of what GA is and what it isn't, so that they can decide if it is a tool worthy of their cognitive investment.
