Vector Inverses and Other Powerful Applications of Geometric Algebra

POSTER

Abstract

Geometric algebra has an elegance and simplicity that motivates reforming traditional analytic representations in physics. I exploit the ease of the vector inverse with a sphere-to-plane mapping application on the method of images in electrostatics. I also briefly explore rotors, Green functions, and more, to illustrate the power of geometric algebra in the physics curriculum.
