About the session. Presentations on the mathematics, applications, and historical development of quaternions. Algebraists, geometers, physicists, and other scientists actively conduct research involving quaternions. In addition to their interesting mathematical properties, quaternions have many applications: in classical mechanics to describe rotations; in Maxwell’s development of E&M. Applications of quaternions are found in aeronautical engineering, computer graphics, molecular biology, and quantum field theory.

The November 2022 New Trends in Quaternions and Octonions workshop has been organized by colleagues in Europe.  Highly recommended! See below and the following link for more information:

https://w3.math.uminho.pt/NTQO/

The Sixth Workshop New Trends in Quaternions and Octonions – NTQO 2022 aims to present recent advances in the research on quaternions and octonions gathering scientists working in pure as well as applied mathematics, scientific computation and applications in physics, engineering and other applied sciences.
This workshop is an opportunity to discuss recent developments in the field of quaternions and octonions, may they be theoretical, computational or real-world applications.

The workshop will take place at University of Beira Interior, November 25-26, 2022 and will have several invited lectures and short communications. As there might be participants who cannot attend NTQO 2022 in person, the event will be run in a hybrid format.

Invited speakers

  • Helmuth Malonek, University of Aveiro, Portugal
  • Nichol Furey, Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany
  • Rui Pacheco, University of Beira Interior, Portugal
  • Vladislav Kravchenko, CINVESTAV, Mexico

Posted Fall, 2021

Starting November 1, 2021 and running through June, 2022 is a FREE online series of talks on Algebra, Particles, and Quantum theory.

 

The subjects of these seminars have quite a range: leaning more heavily on quantum theory initially, and then migrating into algebra and particle physics.  You are more than welcome to join in at any point.

These seminars are organized by Nicole Furey, who will be one of our speakers at our 2022 JMM AMS Special Session on Quaternions (Seattle, WA Jan 5, 2022).

For access to the Algebra, Particles, and Quantum Theory Serminar  go to

Dear Quaternion Community

2020 Joint Mathematics Meeting News

There will be no Quaternion Special Session at the 2020 JMM.  The AMS didn’t approve our 2020 Quaternion Special Session proposal.  Hopefully, we will have a Quaternion Session at the 2021 JMM.

However, the AMS did approve our proposal on Evolution.

For more information see:
