Clifford Numbers in Mathcad



Hello.

Is there a package allowing Clifford algebra in Mathcad?

Every Clifford number is of the form

a + bx + cy + dz + exy + fyz + gxz + hxyz where

a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h are real (or complex?) and x,y,z are orthogonal bases.
At least I recall it that way.

Yes, I am aware of the Clifford calculator at elf.org and some other
packages. I use Mathcad a lot, so I am looking for a package that lets
me define a Mathcad number this way, instead of double precision
complex, (32 bytes per number), Mathcad's *only* number type.

Would a 280-290 level college course in linear algebra provide any help
with Clifford algebra?
