You should read about Maxwell's original equations for electromagnetism in component form (1865), then in quaternion form (1873), and Heaviside's vector-based rewrite (1888), then look at how they can be rewritten in geometric algebra.
If you invent enough crazy new mathematical constructs, eventually one of them will mirror a natural physical phenomenon. And then a pile of equations collapses into something incredibly simple.
