Question: What is NFCM about?

This textbook uses geometric algebra to present an advanced version of classical mechanics. David Hestenes has tailored Clifford Algebra for general application to physics problems at all levels, always stressing the geometrical interpretations of the algebra. Geometric algebra always stresses placing theorems and proofs in coordinate-free form. Because the geometric algebra is based on vectors and the aptly-called 'geometric product' of vectors, one is often able to literally 'divide by a vector'!

For additional information of geometric algebra and NFCM, the following links are provided:

And now on to the NFCM problems and solutions. But remember, I have only provided a limited selection of problem solutions, usually to those problems that I personally found interesting or were the more difficult problems.
