Clifford algebra for CAS Maxima

Clifford: a lightweight package for performing Geometric and Clifford Algebra calculations

To run the package clone the repository and add the folder to Maxima by executing commands

file_search_demo: append (file_search_demo,["/path/to/folder/$$$.{dem,wxm}"]);

file_search_maxima: append (file_search_maxima,["/path/to/folder/$$$.{mac,wxm}"]);
