- Authors
Voight, John
- Abstract
Hurwitz's Lectures on the Number Theory of Quaternions is a translation and commentary on Adolf Hurwitz's pioneering work on quaternion number theory. The book aims to make Hurwitz's lectures accessible to a wide audience and includes a concise introduction to algebraic number theory. Hurwitz's lectures establish the foundations of quaternion arithmetic, defining integer quaternions and exploring their properties. The book also provides historical context and a translation of Hurwitz's paper on the composition of quadratic forms. It will be of interest to mathematicians and students interested in the historical development of algebraic number theory.
