SUMMARY
Every quaternion has an inverse under multiplication, confirming that quaternions form a skew field, also known as a non-commutative division ring. This property is fundamental to quaternion algebra, enabling operations such as rotation in three-dimensional space. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding quaternion inverses for applications in computer graphics and physics simulations.
