In clifford: Arbitrary Dimensional Clifford Algebras

Quaternions using Clifford algebras

Description

Converting quaternions to and from Clifford objects is not part of the package but functionality and a short discussion is included in inst/quaternion_clifford.Rmd.

Details

Given a quaternion a+bi+cj+dk, one may identify i with -e_{12}, j with -e_{13}, and k with -e_{23} (the constant term is of course e_0).

Note

A different mapping, from the quaternions to \operatorname{Cl}(0,2) is given at signature.Rd.
