Geometric Algebra is useful because it's a generalization of complex number and quaternions. It explains complex numbers and quaternions intuitively.

- gugagore 6y agoI agree with the first sentence. But I don't think it's intuitive to learn about complex numbers through GA. Complex numbers are a great jumping-off point to learn GA since it is simple and most people eventually accept that the imaginary unit squares to -1, and because complex numbers have a striking geometric interpretation. But I feel almost certain that people should learn about the special case of complex numbers before they ever learn about geometric algebra.
