Numerous attempts have been made to replicate the success of complex-valued algebra in engineering and science to other hypercomplex domains such as quaternions, tessarines, biquaternions, and octonions. Perhaps, none have matched the…
We refurbish our axiomatics of differential geometry introduced in [Mathematics for Applications,, 1 (2012), 171-182]. Then the notion of Euclideaness can naturally be formulated. The principal objective in this paper is to present an…
We introduce the Frenet theory of curves in dual space $\d^3$. After defining the curvature and the torsion of a curve, we classify all curves in dual plane with constant curvature. We also establish the fundamental theorem of existence in…
