Review text

The author develops a theory of addition and multiplication of (weighted) points where Grassmann's vectors appear as a special type of extraordinary points subject to the same basic (and usual) operations. This completes Grassmann's program making the mathematical symbolism a mirror for the abstract reasoning. The article is not historical in itself, being a new development to ``complete Grassmann. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0853.00027].
