Sure, but geometric algebra is specifically marketed as a unifying framework that makes geometric problems easier to reason about. It's not something you learn to solve previously unsolvable problems. So why is there a distinct lack of down-to-earth problem solving?

I think one would have to have a background in modern algebra and physics to see where the "unification" is useful. Then it becomes a lot more obvious, for example Maxwell's equations can be compressed down to one equation with this type of algebra.

In any case, check section 10 for another application for physics.
