Split-quaternion

In abstract algebra, the split-quaternions or coquaternions form an algebraic structure introduced by James Cockle in 1849 under the latter name. They form an associative algebra of dimension four over the real numbers. After introduction in the 20th century of coordinate-free definitions of rings and algebras, it has been proved that the algebra of split-quaternions is isomorphic to the ring of the 2×2 real matrices. So the study of split-quaternions can be reduced to the study of real matrices, and this may explain why there are few mentions of split-quaternions in the mathematical literature of the 20th and 21st centuries. (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

Quaternions: Extracting the Dot and Cross Products

The most important operations upon vectors include the dot and cross products and are indispensable for doing physics and vector calculus. The dot product gives a quick way to check whether vectors are orthogonal and the cross product calculates a new vector orthogonal to both its inputs.

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

The Lie-algebra of Quaternion algebras and their Lie-subalgebras

In this video we discuss the Lie-algebras of general quaternion algebras over general fields, especially as the Lie-algebra is naturally given for 2x2 representations. The video follows a longer video I previously did on quaternions, but this time I focus on the Lie-algebra operation. I st

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

Set Theory (Part 14c): More on the Quaternions

No background in sets required for this video. In this video, we will learn how the quaternions can be thought of as pairings of complex numbers. We also will show how the quaternions can be written as a 2x2 complex matrix as opposed to a 4x4 real matrix and how the unit quaternions form t

Euler's Formula for the Quaternions

In this video, we will derive Euler's formula using a quaternion power, instead of a complex power, which will allow us to calculate quaternion exponentials such as e^(i+j+k). If you like quaternions, this is a pretty neat formula and a simple generalization of Euler's formula for complex
