Publisher's Synopsis
The Bibliography of Quaternions and Allied Systems of Mathematics is a comprehensive reference book written by Alexander Macfarlane and published in 1904. The book is a compilation of all the literature available on the subject of quaternions, a mathematical system that extends the complex numbers and is used in various fields such as physics, engineering, and computer graphics. The book contains an extensive list of books, articles, and other publications related to quaternions and their applications. It covers the history of quaternions, their development, and their use in different fields. The bibliography is organized by author and includes a brief summary of each publication, making it easy to find relevant information.In addition to the bibliography, the book also includes a detailed introduction to quaternions, explaining their basic properties and operations. Macfarlane also provides a brief overview of other mathematical systems related to quaternions, such as octonions and sedenions.Overall, the Bibliography of Quaternions and Allied Systems of Mathematics is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and applications of quaternions. It is a valuable reference for mathematicians, physicists, engineers, and computer scientists alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
