Dual number origin[edit]

According to B.L. van der Waerden's A History of Algebra (1985), it was William Kingdon Clifford that was using this planar algebra at first. A correct statement is that Eduard Study used dual number coefficients for quaternions to represent the Euclidean group of rigid motions. The reference given is Math. Annalen 39:441-566.
