4. Technical Presentation

Stephen Mann	Title : Title: Objects in R(4,4) Abstract: Abstract: In this talk, I present some new work on the Clifford algebra R(4,4) that i did with Ron Goldman. In particular, we found dual representations for points, lines, and planes, and by using both the primal and dual representations, we are able to compute the intersection of any pair of these objects. Further, we found a representation for conic sections.
