Geometric Algebra in 2 Dimensions

In this lecture we introduce geometric algebra through studying various products of vectors. Our goal is to find an associative, invertible product that allows us to multiply together two vectors. Complex arithmetic helps motivate the desired product in two dimensions, and the introduction of Grassmann’s outer product enables us to write down a definition that works in arbitrary dimensions.
