Line 13:
The product operation in this algebra is called ''geometric product''. The elements are called ''multivectors''. Multivectors in <math>\mathcal{V}</math> are just called ''vectors''. It is a known fact that if the dimension of <math>\mathcal{V}</math> is <math>n</math>, then the dimension of the algebra is <math>2^n</math>.
 
The purpose of this task is to implement such an algebra for an arbitrary large dimension <math>n</math>, but of just fivetake <math>n = 5</math> if that's easier to implement in your language (for instance if support of large integers is not easy).
 
To demonstrate your solution, you will use it to implement [[Quaternion type|quaternions]]:
