These talks will be self-contained presentations of mathematical concepts and theorems. They are intended to be accessible to all mathematics
students.  Coffee, tea and drinks will be provided.
 
 

Clifford algebras, also called geometric algebras, have been around for over a hundred years. Low dimensional ones like the real numbers, the complex numbers and the quaternions were discovered even earlier. However, it was not until the last two decades of the twentieth century that general Clifford algebras have become widely known and used. Now they are important tools, making major contributions in several areas of mathematics and theoretical physics. In this talk we will

• get to know Clifford algebras a little better
• witness how they can summarize large amounts of information
• use them to solve systems of equations
