How do you convert Geometry into Algebra using Tensors? Geometric triangles and quadraiaterals can be derived from sequences of vectors. The sequence sums to a closed path. The tensor contains the information equivalent to the geometric figures including their handedness or parity. Two vectors and their inverses generate 24 distinct figures in the plane.

  • Roughly speaking, Grassmann algebras are exterior algebras generated by the wedge product. For example, if e(k) is a basis of an n-dimensional space, the n-form generated by "wedge-ing" all the e(k)'s generates the volume of an n-dimensional solid. If e(k) are ortho-normal and right handed, the n-form is a unit n-cube of volume +1. So...yes.

  • Great Explanation! Better than khanacademy if you ask me

  • @wonderouswonderloo TY for then comment! Next series of videos will cover the subject of differentials, vector bundles, and how vector fields can become derivatives in a tangent space. Hope to get this started next week.

  • after i watched this video Geometric triangles and quadraiaterals can be derived from sequences of vectors, my insight is very open because the video is very good to give information

  • I found your explanation very simple and clear, the pace was comfortable, and overall very enlightening. Keep them coming!

  • Didn't Hermann Grassmann attempt to convert geometry into a type of tensor algebra during the nineteenth century?
