The conjugate of a quaternion corresponds to the conjugate transpose of the matrix.
In this representation, the conjugate of a quaternion corresponds to the transpose of the matrix.
Quaternions are often used in computer graphics (and associated geometric analysis) to represent rotations (see quaternions and spatial rotation) and orientations of objects in three-dimensional space.

 Quaternion group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The quaternion group Q may be regarded as acting on the eight nonzero elements of the 2-dimensional vector space over the finite field GF(3).
The generalized quaternion groups are members of the still larger family of dicyclic groups.
The generalized quaternion groups have the property that every abelian subgroup is cyclic.

 PlanetMath: quaternion group
The quaternion group, or quaternionic group, is a noncommutative group with eight elements.
Quaternions were known to Gauss in 1819 or 1820, but he did not publicize this discovery, and quaternions weren't rediscovered until 1843, with Hamilton.

A quaternion is a mathematical concept introduced by William Rowan Hamilton of Ireland in 1843.
By linearity, multiplication of quaternions is completely determined by the multiplication table for the unit quaternions; this table is given at the right.

The quaternion group is isomorphic to the group generated by a, b with presentation a^2 = b^2 = aba^(-1)b^(-1) and a^4 = 1.
The dihedral group of order 2n is isomorphic to the group generated by a, b with presentation a^2 = b^n = 1 and a b a = b^(-1).
This is the group with three generators a, b, and c and relations c = a^2 = b^n, c*a = a*c, b*c = c*b, a*b = b*a*c, and c^2 = 1.

 Quaternion group   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
In group theory, the quaternion group is a non- abelian group of order 8 with a number of interesting properties.
Note that the resulting group is non- commutative ; for example ij= -ji.
Conversely, one can start with the quaternions and define the quaternion group as the multiplicative subgroupconsisting of the eight elements {1, -1, i, -i, j, -j, k,-k}.

The group of all rotational symmetries of the cube such that the axis of rotation either passes through the center of 2 opposing faces or through 2 opposing vertices.
For example, the group of 4 rotations of a cube along the x-axis basically "looks the same" as the group of 4 rotations of a cube along the y-axis, or along the z-axis for that matter.
Groups: 1) group of rotational symmetries of a tetrahedron 2) group of rotational symmetries of a cube (which is effectively the same as that of an octahedron) 3) group of rotational symmetries of an icosahedron (which is effectively the same as that of a dodecahedron)
