The discussion centers around the derivation of specific quaternion equations found in Hamilton's Lectures on Quaternions, specifically lines 13 and 15 of Section 563. Participants express challenges in deriving these equations, indicating a focus on theoretical understanding and mathematical reasoning related to quaternions.
There is no consensus on the derivation of the equations, and the discussion reflects multiple viewpoints regarding the approach to solving the problem. Participants have not reached an agreement on the best way to proceed with the derivation.
Participants have not provided specific details about the equations in question or the assumptions underlying their derivations, leaving some aspects of the discussion unresolved.
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.Ben2 said:Summary: 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.
