With Clifford's method, we can get the same result. Do you have
any strong reason to reject Clifford's method?

In 3D VECTOR algebra, we have to divide a mass by a length
VECTOR, and linear mass density is a VECTOR.

Dear Bill,

Thank you for the information you provide. You were misled by
mathematician. Mathematicians play vectors without unit(meter
for example); that's not for physicists.

Area = Length * Height
Height = Area / Length

I learned the above equations when I was a pupil in elementary
school. Dividing an area by a length, we always get the height
of a rectangle(although infinite number of parallelograms have
the same area and length).

Physicists have been doing vector-by-vector-division for a
hundred years. The equation of magnetic force is "vector division
by vector".

F=iLXB (X is corss product).
L is a length vector; assuming L=l m<i:3>, <i:3> is a unit vector.
B is magnetic flux density. Its unit is tesla, or Wb/m^2. Wb, Weber,
is the unit of magnetic flux. Assuming

B= b (Wb/m^2)<j:3>, <j:3> is a unit vector.
Since B is a vector of surface density, we can rewrite it:
B= b Wb/(m^2<j:3>), <j:3> is moved to denominator.

LXB= l m<i:3> X b (Wb/m^2)<j:3>
= l m<i:3> * b Wb /(m^2<j:3>)
= lb Wb m<i:3>/(m^2<j:3>)

It's VDV.

A meter is a length, not a direction. You have no idea what you are
talking about.

No, you don't. Feel free to write down the expression in terms of
the clifford algebra.

Wrong. Given a linear mass density lying along -a < x < a, what
direction does it point?
