Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

The present Treatise is, as the title-page indicates, the joint production of Prof. Tait and myself. The preface I write in the.first person, as this enables me to offer some personal explanations. For many years past I have been accustomed, no doubt very imperfectly, to introduce to my class the subject of Quaternions as part of elementary A lgebra, more with the view of establishing principles than of applying processes. Experience has taught me that to induce a student to think for himself there is nothing so effectual as to lay before him the different stages of the development of a science in something like the historical order. And justice alike to the student and the subject forbade that I should stop short at that point where, more simply and more effectually than at any other, the intimate connexion between principles and processes is made manifest.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of Quaternions, a mathematical system developed by Sir William Rowan Hamilton in the 19th century. The author, a dedicated student of Hamilton's work, presents Quaternions as an extension of traditional algebra, incorporating the idea of motion and transference alongside numerical operations. The text explores the historical context of this mathematical innovation, tracing its roots back to the limitations of earlier systems, such as Euclid's geometry and the development of fractions and algebra. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding how mathematical advancements arise from the removal of previously held restrictions, allowing for the expansion of existing frameworks. The book guides readers through the core principles of Quaternions, explaining the concepts of vector addition and subtraction, and introducing the groundbreaking idea of vector multiplication and division. Through clear examples and meticulous explanations, the author reveals the power and elegance of Quaternions, demonstrating how a single mathematical framework can be used to solve a wide range of problems in geometry and beyond. This book offers a unique and insightful exploration of the evolution of mathematical thought, showcasing how the removal of constraints can lead to new and powerful mathematical tools. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
