Abstract

IN NATURE for October 3, 1895, there is a letter, signed by P. Molenbroek and Shunkichi Kimura, on promoting the study of quaternions and allied systems of mathematics. I notice that this has not, as yet, been responded to in NATURE. I do not think that the subject should be allowed to drop; but that some permanent good should be done to science by making this branch of mathematics part of the compulsory course of study for students for the highest honours in mathematics in our universities and university colleges, in the hope that more workers may follow the subject up afterwards.
