Utility Of Quaternions In Physics (1893)

The book ""Utility Of Quaternions In Physics"" was written by Alexander McAulay and was published in 1893. This book provides an in-depth exploration of the use of quaternions in the field of physics. Quaternions are a mathematical concept that extends the idea of complex numbers, and are used to represent and manipulate three-dimensional rotations and transformations. McAulay's book begins with an introduction to the concept of quaternions, including their history and mathematical properties. He then goes on to explain their application in physics, particularly in the areas of mechanics and electromagnetism. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the use of quaternions to represent rotations and translations, the calculation of angular velocities and accelerations, and the description of electromagnetic fields.Throughout the book, McAulay provides detailed mathematical explanations and examples to illustrate the utility of quaternions in physics. He also includes numerous diagrams and illustrations to aid in understanding. Overall, ""Utility Of Quaternions In Physics"" is a comprehensive guide to the use of quaternions in physics, and is a valuable resource for students and researchers in the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
