Projective geometric algebra is a four-dimensional mathematical model that naturally incorporates representations for Euclidean points, lines, and planes as well as operations for performing rotations, reflections, and translations in a single algebraic structure. It completely subsumes conventional models that include homogeneous coordinates, Plücker coordinates, quaternions, and screw theory.
I am Eric Lengyel, and this page is a central resource containing all of my work on the subject of geometric algebra. Geometric algebra is a specific type of Clifford algebra, and it includes the simpler Grassmann algebra.
A C++ math library that implements projective geometric algebra is coming soon. It will be available on this page.
The most recent developments in projective geometric algebra can be found in my blog:
• Projective Geometric Algebra Done Right
• Symmetries in Projective Geometric Algebra
The two 18×24 inch reference posters below contain a huge amount of information, including new research from 2020. They can be downloaded as a single PDF.

Foundations of Game Engine Development, Volume 1: Mathematics This book, written in 2016, contains an entire chapter about projective geometry in Grassmann algebra. It is a detailed introduction to the subject that is the perfect starting place for anyone who wants to learn details about the wedge and antiwedge products. |
