Geometric algebra is not to be confused with algebraic geometry. Anyway, as a first year physics undergrad, it's been a real pain to find any decent, really decent lecture courses, despite being at Cambridge, where there is an actual Clifford Algebra research group. Geometric algebra is also known as Clifford algebra which has many applications in physics and engineering. It is very "Geometric algebra for physicists". What has come to be called Geometric Algebra is a school of thought among some physicists who amplify the good use of Clifford algebra in treatments of basic classical mechanics and quantum mechanics. Clifford Algebra to Geometric Calculus: A Unified Language for Mathematics and Physics book download D. Cambridge Let me add one more reference: Theodore Frankel's book: The Geometry of Physics. Some years ago, Lasenby, Doran and Gull of the Cambridge geometry group, rewrote general relativity using Clifford algebra instead of tensors. The outcome,in physics for example, would be that while the geometrical description using Relativity works for some of this, and tells you that some physical quantities have just gone crazy, the larger framework tells you that if you keep track of the right physical variables, the physics is quite readily accessible all the way .
