Book Overview

""Utility Of Quaternions In Physics"" is a book written by Alexander McAulay and published in 1893. The book explores the application of quaternions, a mathematical concept developed by William Rowan Hamilton, in the field of physics. Quaternions are a four-dimensional extension of complex numbers and are useful in representing rotations and orientations in space. The book covers various topics related to physics, including mechanics, electromagnetism, and optics, and explains how quaternions can be used to simplify and solve problems in these areas. It also includes numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand and apply the concepts discussed.Overall, ""Utility Of Quaternions In Physics"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the use of quaternions in physics and mathematics. It provides a clear and concise introduction to the topic and offers practical insights into how quaternions can be used to solve complex problems in physics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
