    The Cartan-Dieudonné theorem says that every isometry of a metric vector space \(V\) is a product of not more than \(\dim V\) reflections. For generalized real scalar product spaces \(V\) of arbitrary signature, the authors give an algorithm for the factorization of an isometry as stated in the Cartan-Dieudonné theorem. They also provide an alternate proof using Clifford algebras.
