SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on deriving specific quaternion equations from Hamilton's "Lectures on Quaternions," particularly lines 13 and 15 of Section 563 (p. 566). The original poster has struggled with these equations for months and is seeking assistance. A previous discussion on the same topic from September 2018 is referenced, indicating ongoing challenges in understanding these quaternion concepts. The poster offers to share a LaTeX version of the equations while acknowledging potential copyright concerns.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quaternion mathematics
  • Familiarity with Hamilton's Lectures on Quaternions
  • Basic knowledge of LaTeX for typesetting mathematical equations
  • Awareness of copyright issues in academic discussions
NEXT STEPS
  • Study Hamilton's Lectures on Quaternions, focusing on Section 563
  • Explore quaternion applications in physics and computer graphics
  • Learn LaTeX for formatting and presenting mathematical proofs
  • Review previous discussions on quaternions in online forums
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, physics students, and computer graphics developers seeking to deepen their understanding of quaternion equations and their applications.

TL;DR
Proofs of Two Equations in Classical Quaternions
If anyone has read Hamilton's Lectures on Quaternions, lines 13 and 15 of Section 563 (p. 566) have successfully resisted my efforts for months. For those interested, I can provide the Latex version. Let me also apologize if this is the wrong forum for the question. Thanks.

If it already took you months, then you should invest of view minutes to describe the situation, rather than hope that anybody who wants to help has this specific book and also wants to look it up for you.
For those interested, I can provide the Latex version. Let me also apologize if this is the wrong forum for the question. Thanks.
... as long as you don't breach copyrights. Whether it is the wrong forum or not, who can tell?
 
Whoops! Had forgotten I'd posted this before. Sorry to have troubled anyone, and thanks again.
