Abstract
In this chapter, we will discuss the advantages for geometric computing that geometric algebra offers for solving problems and developing algorithms in the fields of artificial intelligence, robotics, and intelligent machines acting within the perception and action cycle. We begin with a short tour of the history of mathematics to find the roots of the fundamental concepts of geometry and algebra.
