👉 A quaternionist is a person who believes in the existence of an imaginary number system, also known as quaternions. Quaternions are a non-commutative algebra over the reals, and they were first introduced by Arthur Cayley in 1843. Quaternions have several properties that make them particularly appealing for mathematical exploration: - They form a vector space over the real numbers. - They can be used to represent rotations in three-dimensional space. - They are important
