~~NOTOC~~ ====== Quaternion ====== The **quaternion** number system, first described by William Rowan Hamilton in 1843, extends the complex numbers. A quaternion usually takes the form: $a + bi + cj + dk$ Where $a,b,c,d$ are real coefficients of $1,i,j,k$. $\displaystyle i^2 = j^2 = k^2 = ijk = -1$ $q = (w,x,y,z)$ ==== Examples ==== ==== See also ==== * [[article:computer_graphics|Computer Graphics]] * [[article:maths|Mathematics]]
