Clados -CLifford Algebra Derived ObjectS

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: clados-0_5_0

Notes: 2001/04/15 Alfred Differ I haven't found any other problems with this package lately. I would like to get the dyad and dyadic classes underway, but there is no reason not to make this available as is. What is here does work, even if there is no pretty documentation to back it all up. Within this java package is a class meant to support a monad object. This is a single algebra clifford multivector. Snip the com directory into your own source code and you are ready to make use of these objects. Some exception classes are also included in the package. These are mostly meant to block programmatic errors on the part of the developers using the Monad type of class. Direct questions, comments and kibitzing to the Clados team. We are interested in how you use Clifford Algebras in your work. Good Luck.

I found this while doing unit testing on SailAway. 2000/03/03 Alfred Differ I've altered some of the names of the internal and external members having to do with Blade Projection, Blade counting, and related parts. There was a difference between the standard terminology used in Geometric Algebra and the way I was using it. Rather than confuse everyone, I have adjusted the package to match the standard. This results in a minor change to the API. Methods that used to be called Blade<something> are now called Grade<something>. I have also added more comments and clarified a few of the older ones. There is still a lot of commenting work to go to make this class readable to other geometric algebra developers, let alone to users of the package who want to avoid having to understand internal details.
