Applications of dual quaternions to 2D geometry

In this article, we discuss certain applications of the dual quaternion algebra to 2D geometry. At this present time, the article is focused on a 4-dimensional subalgebra of the dual quaternions which we will call the planar quaternions. The planar quaternions make up a four-dimensional algebra over the real numbers. Their primary application is in representing rigid body motions in 2D space. Unlike multiplication of dual numbers or of complex numbers, that of planar quaternions is non-commutative. (Wikipedia).

Quaternions EXPLAINED Briefly

This is a video I have been wanting to make for some time, in which I discuss what the quaternions are, as mathematical objects, and how we do calculations with them. In particular, we will see how the fundamental equation of the quaternions i^2=j^2=k^2=ijk=-1 easily generates the rule for

Quaternions as 4x4 Matrices - Connections to Linear Algebra

In math, it's usually possible to view an object or concept from many different (but equivalent) angles. In this video, we will see that the quaternions may be viewed as 4x4 real-valued matrices of a special form. What is interesting here is that if you know how to multiply matrices, you a

Dual basis

Dual basis definition and proof that it's a basis In this video, given a basis beta of a vector space V, I define the dual basis beta* of V*, and show that it's indeed a basis. We'll see many more applications of this concept later on, but this video already shows that it's straightforwar

The rotation problem and Hamilton's discovery of quaternions IV | Famous Math Problems 13d

We show how to practically implement the use of quaternions to describe the algebra of rotations of three dimensional space. The key idea is to use the notion of half-turn [or half-slope--I have changed terminology since this video was made!] instead of angle: this is well suited to connec

Geometric Algebra - Rotors and Quaternions

In this video, we will take note of the even subalgebra of G(3), see that it is isomorphic to the quaternions and, in particular, the set of rotors, themselves in the even subalgebra, correspond to the set of unit quaternions. This brings the entire subject of quaternions under the heading

Duality Argument

In this video, I present a very classical example of a duality argument: Namely, I show that T^T is one-to-one if and only if T is onto and use that to show that T is one-to-one if and only if T^T is onto. This illustrates the beautiful interplay between a vector space and its dual space,
