Is there any matrix equivalent for the Clifford product?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the search for a matrix equivalent of the Clifford product, which is a fundamental operation in Clifford algebras. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding Clifford algebras and their linear representations to grasp the concept fully. The conversation highlights the lack of a direct matrix representation for the Clifford product, suggesting that further exploration into the algebraic structures is necessary. Key terms such as "Clifford algebras" and "linear representations" are pivotal to this topic.
