Hypercomplex Numbers: An Elementary Introduction to Algebras

by A.S. Solodovnikov, I.L. Kantor, I.L.;Solodovnikov A. S. Kantor

Book Overview

This book deals with various systems of "numbers" that can be constructed by adding "imaginary units" to the real numbers. The complex numbers are a classical example of such a system. One of the most important properties of the complex numbers is given by the identity (1) Izz'l = Izl-Iz'I- It says, roughly, that the absolute value of a product is equal to the product of the absolute values of the factors. If we put z = al + a2i, z' = b+ bi, 1 2 then...
