Exterior algebra: History, Applications & Products

In mathematics, the exterior algebra or Grassmann algebra of a vector space V {\displaystyle V} is an associative algebra that contains V , {\displaystyle V,} which has a product, called exterior product or wedge product and denoted with ∧ {\displaystyle \wedge } , such that v ∧ v = 0 {\displaystyle v\wedge v=0} for every vector v {\displaystyle v} in V…
