I will introduce the theories of orthogonal spaces and quadratic geometries over infinite fields, giving some background on Lie coordinatisable structures, and bilinear forms over infinite fields. I will then go on to explain the quantifier elimination for these structures, and discuss the axiomatisation of their pseudo-finite completions and model companions. This is joint work in progress with Nick Ramsey.
