Domain: Hypercomplex algebra

Details
  • An algebra is an ordered list of generators; the families already carry the squares and the commutation rules
  • Constructors: `CliffordAlgebra(p, q)`, `MulticomplexAlgebra(n)`, `SplitAlgebra(n)`, `DualAlgebra(n)`, `GrassmannAlgebra(n)`
  • Named: Quaternions (also ), `BicomplexNumbers`, `TricomplexNumbers`, `SplitComplexNumbers`, `DualNumbers`
  • No element constructor is needed — `Dot` threads a tuple of scalars over the basis
