Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces readers to the study of quaternions, a powerful mathematical concept developed by Sir William Rowan Hamilton in the nineteenth century. Expanding on geometric algebra, this mathematical system extends the real numbers by introducing imaginary numbers of a higher degree, known as quaternions. The author presents the standard topics of quaternion analysis with an emphasis on geometric representation, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the subject. The book begins with an introduction to vectors and explains how they can be represented using quaternions. It then explores linear vector functions, exploring the related topics of rotations, finite rotations, and infinitesimal rotations. The book concludes with a discussion of applications of quaternions to dynamics, showing their practical utility in areas such as physics and engineering. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
