Abstract
- The article offers information on Clifford algebra and equivalence of problems related to quadratic forms. Topics discussed include introduction of real Clifford algebra by mathematician William Kingdon Clifford to generalize complex quaternions and numbers; classification of the algebra based on their dimensions and similarities in explaining their theorems; and mathematical proof to explain equivalence of Clifford algebras.
