Abstract
This chapter reviews and elaborates on the operators of Geometric algebra from G3 to Gn. This algebra is attributed to Hermann Grassmann [Die lineare Ausdehnungslehre, ein neuer Zweig der Mathematik 1842]. It is formed by two main operators, the outer product and inner product. Here, a new element is introduced the multivector, we review these operators, their properties, and their application in the representation of curves, planes, and objects on space Gn.
