Extend template to Clifford algebra?

[edit]

Should this be extended/merged to a template: Clifford algebra, to include STA, geometric algebra and spinors also? M∧Ŝc2ħεИτlk 13:52, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My feeling is to support this (extend and move). The various links would be grouped in categories as with similar templates. — Quondum 17:21, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm two years late ... Considering the discriminiation between APS and STA mentioned in one article, I cannot see many winners of broadening this template, neither do I know about actual estimations of these ideas. Please, see below, too. Purgy (talk) 18:38, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Change "Mathematical concepts"

[edit]

Since paravectors do not form an algebra, imho, I'd like to put in the Clifford algebra as Mathematical concept instead there, whereas I slightly oppose to changing the top-line of this template. Clifford algebrae are far more mathematically general than this specific real Geometric algebra APS is. Just if someone is still interested ... Purgy (talk) 18:33, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
