The simplistic beauty of a quaternion fractal...
About This Blog
This blog is devoted to furthering the discussion on the modern use of Quaternion Algebra. I first learned about quaternions through reading the work of a retired army Col. named Tom Bearden. From there I followed the trail back to James Clerk Maxwell, and the to Sir William Rowan Hamilton. So far every one I have asked knows next to nothing about quaternions. In an effort to learn more, I decided to devote my research paper for English 102 at UW Richland to investigate the matter further. Part of the requirement for the class was to make a blog to post the final research paper on. So here it is! You can read the paper by clicking "The Great Quaternion Debate" link on the pages column to the right. I also have compiled a page with all the links on quaternions that I have found over the last 6-8 months. Feel free to email me or leave a comment. Thanks!

...Here there be Quaternions...

Sounds as if we had somewhat similar experiences, each hearing of quaternions elsewhere and choosing to use them as the topic of an academic paper. My paper was almost thirty years ago, and I'd just put it up on the web (here) and looked around and found your site. I like your take on the history (though I like juxtaposing the two papers even better), and the whole graphics thing and associated renaissance have blown up since my paper; I did catch some different pockets of history. Cool!
