Geometric algebra

This section is intended to provide the quadruple products in geometric algebra. It is a work in progress. Brews ohare (talk) 18:48, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reasons for article

This article Quadruple product is the analog of the article Triple product, and covers matters discussed by sources in this Google link. It meets the objections to the earlier article Vector quadruple product, which was misnamed and had sourcing issues. Quadruple product is intended to be a full discussion of all products involving four vectors, but needs some amplification in the area of Applications and in the connection to Geometric algebra. As a full discussion, it goes beyond the simple statement of results found in Vector algebra relations.

Talking about products involving four vectors in general makes no sense, and what you have in mind is pretty close to original research. There's a zillion ways to take the product of four vectors. The only thing we should have a page on is the scalar and vector quadruple products, just because people sometimes use them as terms. The whole geometric algebra section should go. -- Walt Pohl (talk) 12:31, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This Google link says what the point of the article is: to summarize references like these. Brews ohare (talk) 05:13, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The term blade is used in geometric algebra to describe one form of multiple product of vectors, so Quadruple product should make this connection. There are others. Brews ohare (talk) 13:49, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
