The article offers discussion on some uses of geometric algebra across the mathematical landscape in the U.S. It notes that geometric algebra offers various opportunities for mathematics by joining concrete geometric ideas with algebraic symbolism. In such process, it says that mathematicians and students can perform polynomial divisions more easily, factor more efficiently, and solve equations more transparently. In the same way, students can likewise reinforce major ideas such as the relationship between arithmetic operations on multidigit numbers and the same operations on polynomials.
