Geometric Algebra for Conics

Abstract

We present a particular geometric algebra together with such an embedding of two–dimensional Euclidean space that the algebra elements may be in the most efficient way interpreted as arbitrary conic sections. Consequently, in this setting we provide full description of the conic sections analysis, classification and their transformations. Examples that show the functionality and consistency are provided in Maple together with the source code.
