We construct geometric calculus on an oriented k-surface embedded in Euclidean space by utilizing the notion of an oriented k-surface as the limit set of a sequence of k-chains. This method provides insight into the relationship between the vector derivative, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and Residue Theorem. It should be of practical value in numerical finite difference calculations with integral and differential equations in Clifford algebra.

Calculus on m -Surfaces
We apply all of the machinery of linear algebra developed in the preceding chapters to the study of calculus on an m-surface. The concept of the boundary of a surface is defined, and the classicalExpand

We review the foundations for coordinate-free differential geometry in Geometric Calculus. In particular, we see how both extrinsic and intrinsic geometry of a manifold can be characterized by aExpand
Differential Forms in Geometric Calculus
Geometric calculus and the calculus of differential forms have common origins in Grassmann algebra but different lines of historical development, so mathematicians have been slow to recognize thatExpand

Geometric algebra is a consistent computational framework in which to define geometric primitives and their relationships. This algebraic approach contains all geometric operators and permitsExpand
Lie Groups and Lie Algebras
We have studied linear transformation on $${\mathbb{R}}^{n}$$ using the traditional matrix formalism in Chap. 7 and more generally in Chaps. 8–10, using the machinery of geometric algebra. ThisExpand
Linear and Bilinear Forms
Geometric algebra is not used in this chapter. The material presented is closely related to the material in Sect. 7.1 but represents a change of viewpoint. Instead of talking about the reciprocalExpand
Sobczyk's simplicial calculus does not have a proper foundation
The pseudoscalars in Garret Sobczyk's paper \emph{Simplicial Calculus with Geometric Algebra} are not well defined. Therefore his calculus does not have a proper foundation.
Differential Geometry of Curves
The study of the differential geometry of surfaces rightly begins with the study of curves, since a curve can be considered to be a 1-dimensional surface, and a more general surface can be consideredExpand

This article shows how to call on this structure to define common geometrical constructs, ensuring a consistent computational framework, and shows that one can automatically take care of some of the lower level algorithmic aspects without tricks, exceptions, or hidden degenerate cases by using geometric algebra as a language.
