+-- This file demonstrates some operations with quaternions.
+ 
+)clear all
+ 
+-- The basic function for creating quaternions is "quatern". This is
+-- a quaternion over the rational numbers.
+q := quatern(2/11,-8,3/4,1)
+ 
+-- The four arguments are the real part, the i imaginary part, the
+-- j imaginary part and the k imaginary part, respectively. These are
+-- extracted with the following functions.
+ 
+real q
+imagI q
+imagJ q
+imagK q
+ 
+-- Because q is over the rationals (and nonzero), you can invert it ...
+inv q
+ 
+-- in addition to the normal arithmetic (ring) operations.
+q**6
+r := quatern(-2,3,23/9,-89)
+q + r
+q - r
+ 
+-- In general, multiplication is not commutative.
+q * r
+r * q
+ 
+-- There are no predefined constants for the imaginary i, j and k but
+-- you can easily define them.
