In math, the quaternions are a number method that extends the complex numbers. They were originally described by the mathematician William Rowan Hamilton and applied to mechanics in space (3D). Quaternions characteristics are that multiplication of two quaternions is noncommutative. Hamilton defined a quaternion as the quotient of two lines in 3D (the quotient of two vectors). Quaternions find uses in theoretical and applied mathematics, in particular for calculations involving 3D rotations such as in computer graphics, computer vision, and crystallographic texture analysis. In useful applications, they find use alongside other methods, like Euler angles and rotation matrices, depending on the application. In contemporary mathematical language, quaternions form a 4D associative normed division algebra over the real numbers, and consequently also a domain. In fact, the quaternions were the elementary noncommutative division algebra to be discovered. According to the Frobenius theorem, it is one of only two finite-dimensional dividing rings containing the real numbers as a proper subring, and the other being the complex numbers. These rings are also Euclidean Hurwitz algebras, of whichever quaternions are the largest associative algebra.

Excerpt from Utility of Quaternions in Physics IT is a curious phenomenon in the History of Mathematics that the greatest work of the greatest Mathematician of the century which prides itself upon being the most enlightened the world has yet seen, has suffered the most chilling neglect. The cause of this is not at first sight obvious. We have here little to do with the benefit provided by Quaternions to Pure Mathematics. The reason for the neglect here may be that Hamilton himself has developed the Science to such an extent as to make successors an impossibility. One cannot however resist a strong suspicion that were the subject even studied we should hear more from Pure Mathematicians, of Hamilton's valuable results. This reason at any rate cannot be assigned for the neglect'of the Physical side of Quaternions. Hamilton has done but little in this field, and yet when we ask what Mathematical Physicists have been tempted by the bait to win easy laurels (to put the incentive on no higher grounds), the answer must be scarcely one. Prof. Tait is the grand exception to this. But well known Physicist though he be, his fellow-workers for the most part render themselves incapable of appreciating his valuable services by studying the subject if at all only as dilettanti. The number who read a small amount in Quaternions is by no means small, but those who get further than what is recommended by Maxwell as imperatively necessary are but a small percentage of the whole.

Excerpt from Utility of Quaternions in Physics The present publication is an essay that was sent in (December, 1887) to compete for the Smith's Prizes at Cambridge. To the onlooker it is always a mournful thing to see what he considers splendid abilities or opportunities wasted for lack of knowledge of some paltry common-place truth. Such is in the main my feeling when considering the neglect of the study of Quaternions by that wonderful corporation the University of Cambridge. To the alumnus she is apt to appear as the leader in all branches of Mathematics. To the outsider she appears rather as the leader in Applied Mathematics and as a ready welcomer of other branches. If Quaternions were simply a branch of Pure Mathematics we could understand why the study of them was almost confined to the University which gave birth to them, but as the truth is quite otherwise it is hard to shew good reason why they have not struck root also in Cambridge. The prophet on whom Hamilton's mantle has fallen is more than a mathematician and more than a natural philosopher - he is both, and it is to be noted also that he is a Cambridge man. He has preached in season and out of season (if that were possible) that Quaternions are especially useful in Physical applications. Why then has his Alma Mater turned a deaf ear? I cannot believe that she is in her dotage and has lost her hearing. The problem is beyond me and I give it up. But I wish to add my little efforts to Prof. Tait's powerful advocacy to bring about another state of affairs. Cambridge is the prepared ground on which if anywhere the study of the Physical applications of Quaternions ought to flourish.

The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
