摘　　要：ｌｉｆｏｒｄ代数（几何代数或多重矢运算）比通常数学工具诸如矢量、张量、旋量及外微分形式有很多优越性．作为介绍性文章这里选取刚体转动及旋转参考系作为例子，以展示此种数学工具的优越性．Clifford Algebra (Geometric Algebra or Multivector Calculus) is much supperior to traditional mathematical tools such as vector, tensor, spinor and exferior differential form. As an introductory article it takes the rigid body rotation and the rotating refference frame as examples to illustrate the supperioity of such a mathematical tool. The elementary geometric algebra and two examples in this article is so easy to lecture in general mechanics course.
