sup /sci/tards. what do you know about electromagnetism in the geometric algebra setting?

Geometric algebra is really nice, it removes some really bizarre intuition that vectors introduce (angular momentum being a vector that points orthogonally to plane of motion). But outside of that, it's an identical formulation. This isn't to say that it's bad, I quite like it as a formalism, and a different way of looking at the same problem might return new insights. But ultimately anything you can derive in one formalism should be identical in the other.

i've seen GA called the assembly language for physics and i think that's a more useful perspective. Sure you can write machine code manually but it's better to make use of abstractions because brain bandwidth is limited.

Useless undergrad meme. Learn actual Clifford Algebra instead
