Doing Physics with Quaternions
by Douglas B. Sweetser
2005
Number of pages: 157
Description:
Quaternions are numbers like the real numbers: they can be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided. Quaternions are composed of four numbers that work together as one. This book is an introduction to quaternions and a brief summary of important laws in physics written as quaternions.
