quaternion {clifford}

Quaternions using Clifford algebras

Description

Converting quaternions to and from Clifford objects is not part of the package but functionality and a short discussion is included in inst/quaternion_clifford.Rmd.

Details

Given a quaternion \(a+bi+cj+dk\), one may identify \(i\) with \(-e_{12}\), \(j\) with \(-e_{13}\), and \(k\) with \(-e_{23}\) (the constant term is of course \(e_0\)).

Note

A different mapping, from the quaternions to \(Cl(0,2)\) is given at signature.Rd.
