Topics in Quaternion Linear Algebra

"This is a very serious treatise by an author who is a powerful researcher and a clear expositor. I know of no other book that treats both the basic theory and advanced material as carefully and as comprehensively as this one. Topics in Quaternion Linear Algebra is a singular contribution of considerable value."--Douglas R. Farenick, author of Algebras of Linear Transformations
"This unique book brings under one cover various recent results obtained by Rodman, several of his collaborators, and other researchers. In addition to general topics in quaternionic linear algebra, it treats extensively the canonical forms of several types of quaternionic matrix pencils and the quaternionic numerical ranges of matrices. "--Dragomir Djokovic, distinguished professor emeritus, University of Waterloo

Summary

Quaternions are a number system that has become increasingly useful for representing the rotations of objects in three-dimensional space and has important applications in theoretical and applied mathematics, physics, computer science, and engineering. This is the first book to provide a systematic, accessible, and self-contained exposition of quate

Additional text

"[This book] will be an important reference for years to come for both researchers in the field of linear algebra and scientists who apply quaternions."---Ch. Baxa, Zentralblatt Math
