Hello
look at http://www.perwass.de/cbup/programs.html
he wrote a clifford algebra library and it seems to be GPL. So no need
to add it to gsl The work have already be done.
Nevertheless as gsl_complex exist don't you think we can add a gsl_quaternion to have possibilities to do "basic" calculation with this mathematical object ?
Peoples like me are just using it for it's isomorphisme with O(3), and I do not think that I am the only one ;).
