9781330538043: Vector Analysis and Quaternions (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

Explore the space analysis that links vectors and quaternions and see how they work together in physics and engineering.


This classic introduction presents a unified view of quantities in space, showing how directed measures can be analyzed in ways that stay meaningful when you move from planes to three dimensions. It explains how vector quantities and quaternions interrelate, and it lays out the foundations for understanding rotations, projections, and the math that underpins physical problems. The edition highlights the historical development and the notation used by many early researchers, while guiding readers through practical rules and computations that apply to real-world contexts.


What you’ll experience:



  • Clear definitions of vectors, their magnitudes, directions, and how they combine.

  • Rules for adding and multiplying vectors, including scalar and vector products.

  • Approaches to rotation, composition of rotations, and the geometry of space quantities.

  • Connections between vector analysis and quaternion concepts with worked examples.


Ideal for readers of mathematics, physics, and engineering who want a solid, application‑focused introduction to space analysis.
