The author presents the quadric geometric algebra model introduced by \textit{J. Zamora-Esquivel} [Adv. Appl. Clifford Algebr. 24, No. 2, 493--514 (2014; Zbl 1298.15033)]. This model is a generalization of the conformal geometric algebra of \textit{C. Doran} and \textit{A. Lasenby} [Geometric algebra for physicists. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (2003; Zbl 1078.53001)]. The benefit of this model is that inversions and reflections with respect to conics, quadrics and even hyperquadrics in any dimension can be computed explicitly. All necessary concepts are defined in this paper. As an example, calculations are carried out in two and three dimensional cases.
