摘要
本文建立了八元向量代数,它既是一种方阵代数,又作为一个更加完备的运算系统而包含了复数、矢量和四元数.应用八元向量代数,可以十分方便地导出 Maxwell 方程组的对称变换,并将其拓展成为一个更加完整而对称的电磁场结构定律,从而构成进一步发展经典电动力学的理论基础.
The eight-vecter algebra is found in the paper,as a kind of square ma- trix algebra and as more complete operation system containing the complex number vecter algebra and quaternion numbers. With eight-vecter algebra,we can very conveniently deduce the symmetry trans- formation of Maxwell Equations and prolongate it into a more complete and more sym- metrical a theorem of electromagnetic field structure,thereby laying a theoretical founda- tion for further improvement on the classical electrodynamics.
