2. History of quaternions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_quaternions

   Here as he walked by on the 16th of October 1843 Sir William Rowan Hamilton in a flash of genius discovered the fundamental formula for quaternion multiplication. i2 = j2 = k2 = ijk = −1. & cut it on a stone of this bridge. In mathematics, quaternions are a non- commutative number system that extends the complex numbers.

3. Classical Hamiltonian quaternions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_Hamiltonian...

   Classical elements of a quaternion. Hamilton defined a quaternion as the quotient of two directed lines in tri dimensional space; [1] or, more generally, as the quotient of two vectors. [2] A quaternion can be represented as the sum of a scalar and a vector. It can also be represented as the product of its tensor and its versor.

4. Quaternion group - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternion_group

   In group theory, the quaternion group Q 8 (sometimes just denoted by Q) is a non-abelian group of order eight, isomorphic to the eight-element subset of the quaternions under multiplication. It is given by the group presentation. where e is the identity element and e commutes with the other elements of the group.

5. Trachtenberg system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trachtenberg_system

   Trachtenberg system. The Trachtenberg system is a system of rapid mental calculation. The system consists of a number of readily memorized operations that allow one to perform arithmetic computations very quickly. It was developed by the Russian engineer Jakow Trachtenberg in order to keep his mind occupied while being in a Nazi concentration camp.

6. Quaternion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternion

   For two elements a 1 + b 1 i + c 1 j + d 1 k and a 2 + b 2 i + c 2 j + d 2 k, their product, called the Hamilton product (a 1 + b 1 i + c 1 j + d 1 k) (a 2 + b 2 i + c 2 j + d 2 k), is determined by the products of the basis elements and the distributive law. The distributive law makes it possible to expand the product so that it is a sum of ...

   Cycles of the unit digit of multiples of integers ending in 1, 3, 7 and 9 (upper row), and 2, 4, 6 and 8 (lower row) on a telephone keypad. Figure 1 is used for multiples of 1, 3, 7, and 9. Figure 2 is used for the multiples of 2, 4, 6, and 8. These patterns can be used to memorize the multiples of any number from 0 to 10, except 5.
