DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/BC-Math/4/">
 Math Club Event: "...I can only add and subtract them."</a>\nby Jeff Suzuk
 i (Brooklyn College) as part of Brooklyn College Math Department Events\n\
 n\nAbstract\nOne of the reasons to study the history of mathematics is to 
 gain insight on how to become a mathematician. One of the best examples of
  this process is Hamilton’s creation of quaternions. Hamilton’s goal w
 as to introduce a second imaginary quantity and create a new type of numbe
 r that satisfied the same properties.  We'll start with a brief history of
  complex numbers\, then see how Hamilton's attempt to extend them led to a
  surprising discovery.\n\nLunch will be provided!\n
