However this study was extremely difficult. After Hamilton had spent more than ten years desperately studying, in 1843, while walking beside the Royal Canal, he suddenly discovered the quaternion algebra over real numbers with a basis {1, i, j, k}. He stopped walking and carved equations on a stone nearby a bridge; i2 = j2 = k2 = ijk = -1With Hamilton's discovery, both Arthur Cayley (1821-1895) and John T. Graves (1806-1870) independently ...
