Preface

Real Quaternionic Analysis is a multifaceted subject. Created to describe some phenomena in special relativity, electrodynamics, spin, etc. It has developed into a body of material that interacts with many branches of mathematics, such as complex analysis, harmonic analysis, differential geometry, differential equations, as well as into a ubiquitous factor in the description and elucidation of problems in mathematical physics. Quaternions have been towards Maxwell’s equations. In the meantime, rea
