Geometric Algebra

The Multivector class implements geometric algebra using Python's operator overloading. It works with minimal space for any number of spatial dimensions, since it's not based on the matrix / spinor representation of Clifford algebra. Instead, it takes the basis blade approach recommended by Dorst, Fondijne, and Mann [1]. It's really just as easy as ordering all the basis vectors, and keeping track of the commutator (+/- <math>\hat 1</math>).
