It's a bold undertaking to create a unified mathematical language based on Clifford algebra that aims for optimal simplicity when expressing physics. Geometric algebra is also known as Clifford algebra which has many applications in physics and engineering. This then has been developed further yielding the Jacoby inversion problem and the construction of Abelian functions, the cornerstone of the whole building of modern algebraic geometry. Differential Geometry for Physicists Description : This book is divided into fourteen chapters, with 18 appendices as introduction to prerequisite topological and algebraic knowledge, etc. Geometric algebra is not to be confused with algebraic geometry. The notorious way to use geometry in physics is by means of Gibbs' vector calculus, which became widespread in physical sciences and engineering. I quote the prologue to David Hestenes' Primer on Geometric Algebra for introductory mathematics and physics.
