Abstract
In computer graphics, geometric algebra provides a formal way to do complex geometric calculations. We propose
an implementation of the geometric algebra by using a functional programming language. To emphasize its
efficiency, we compare it with a well known geometric algebra implementation in an application to a ray tracer.
