  • William Kingdon Clifford (4 May 1845 - 3 March 1879) was an English mathematician and philosopher. He discovered Clifford/Geometric Algebra; he wrote about moral philosophy and how a lack of rigour can be as bad as being evil; he suggested (long before Einstein) that gravity could be the curvature of space; and he discovered a multitude of other things, before sadly dying at the age of 33.
    Along with my brother I visited his grave in Highgate Cemetery, where he is buried with his wife. I also say a few words about the geometric product, the wedge product, the pseudoscalar (e123), and what you can use geometric algebra for (I use it for my work in computer graphics and animation).

    That headstone needs some love.

    I agree with you that Clifford's algebra is revolutionizing the world
