The present paper deals with generalized Dirac operators \(D\) and generalized Laplace operators \(\Delta_ g=-DD^*\) defined on functions \(u,v,\ldots\) with values in a real algebra \(A\) with unit element. Formulas for a generalized ``product-or Leibniz-rule (i.e. for \(Duv\)) and a representation of these operators by integrals, in an associative algebra (which gives the aerolar derivative) are given. Utilizing a formula for \(DD^*u\) one gets for example, if \(A\) is the quaternion- algebra, the well known expression from classical vector analysis \(\text{grad div} \underline u-\text{rot rot} \underline u=\Delta\underline u\). Complex and more general algebras are also treated.
