The Influence of Irish Mathematicians on Modern Theoretical Physics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 November 2016
Extract
By a curious chronological coincidence, the tercentenary of Newton’s birth in 1642 is succeeded by the centenary of another outstanding event in the history of mathematics; the discovery of Quaternions in 1843 by Sir W. R. Hamilton. It seems a suitable occasion for drawing attention to the extent to which conceptions due to Irish mathematicians of that epoch are interwoven into the technique employed in recent developments in mathematical physics.
