Elements of Quaternions (Paperback)

The object of the following treatise is to exhibit the elementary principles and notation of the Quaternion Calculus, to meet the wants of beginners in the classroom. The Elements and Lectures of Sir William Rowan Hamilton, while they may be said to contain the suggestion of all that will be done in the way of Quaternion research and application, are not, for this reason, as also on account of their diffuseness of style, suitable for the purposes of elementary instruction. Tait's work on Quaternions is also, in its originality and conciseness, beyond the time and needs of the beginner. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
