Multivector analysis II: A comparison with vector algebra

In a companion paper (I) it is shown that a comparison of the procedures used in tensor analysis to accommodate physical tensors with those appropriate to multivector analysis leads, in effect, to the replacement of two tensor species by 18 (in tensor analysis). In order to make tensor analysis work in practice, this divergence must be removed and this can be done, as is explained in detail, by imposing a sequence of constraints. There is then a convergence to a situation in which two tensor species suffice, corresponding to the polar and axial vector.
