“Balbin's Quaternions”

Abstract

NATURE of December 15, 1887 (p. 145), which has lately reached me, contains a notice of a treatise on Quaternions, by Prof. Valentin Balbin, in which the reviewer alludes to the “slight alterations” introduced into the notation of quaternions by Messrs. Houel and Laisant, and apparently visits them all with equal condemnation.
