paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

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. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Condition: 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.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of quaternions, a mathematical system that revolutionized our understanding of vectors and rotations in three-dimensional space. Building upon the foundations of arithmetic, algebra, and geometry, it introduces the concept of vectors as representations of both magnitude and direction. Emerging in the 19th century as a response to limitations in traditional mathematical approaches, this book showcases the groundbreaking work of mathematicians who dared to challenge established norms. By discarding the commutative law of multiplication, it opened doors to new possibilities in understanding spatial relationships and transformations. The author expertly guides readers through the fundamental principles of quaternion operations, including addition, subtraction, and multiplication. The book explores the geometric applications of quaternions, delving into the equations of lines, planes, circles, spheres, and ellipses. It unravels the complexities of rotations and spatial relationships, offering a powerful tool for visualizing and manipulating objects in three-dimensional space. This book's insights into quaternions provide a deeper understanding of the interplay between algebra and geometry, paving the way for advancements in fields ranging from physics and engineering to computer graphics and robotics.
