The aim of this book is to provide the reader with a gentle introduction to the embryonic subject of geometric algebra (GA). The GA books that currently exist are either directed at physicists or assume that their readers possess a formal understanding of mathematics. To my knowledge, this is the first book that introduces GA without overwhelming the reader with the formalism of linear algebra that supports the subject. The real objective of the book is to make the reader familiar with the concepts of GA. Hopefully on completing the book readers will be able to read more advanced books and technical papers.
