William Rowan Hamilton

Sir William Rowan Hamilton LL.D, DCL, MRIA, FRAS (3/4 August 1805 – 2 September 1865) was an Irish mathematician, astronomer, and physicist. He was the Andrews Professor of Astronomy at Trinity College Dublin, and Royal Astronomer of Ireland, living at Dunsink Observatory. Hamilton's scientific career included the study of geometrical optics, ideas from Fourier analysis, and his work on quaternions which made him one of the founders of modern linear algebra. He made major contributions in optics, classical mechanics and abstract algebra. His work was fundamental to modern theoretical physics, particularly his reformulation of Newtonian mechanics, now called Hamiltonian mechanics. It is now central both to electromagnetism and to quantum mechanics. (Wikipedia).

An explanation of Quaternions, from the bridge in Dublin where they were discovered!

Took a trip to Broome Bridge in Dublin, to the place where William Rowan Hamilton figured out the fundamental formula for quaternion rotation! Some may recognize the similarity this has to the "belt trick", aka the "Dirac scissors" or "Balinese candle dance". Turns out there are three ver
