All the details over here
It’s near the inspirational Broombridge. Which I walk over every morning on my way to the Digital Hub.
via Wikipedia:
Broom bridge is somewhat famous for being the location where Sir William Rowan Hamilton first wrote down the fundamental formula for quaternions on October 16, 1843, which is to this day commemorated by a stone plaque on the northwest corner of the underside of the bridge.
The text on the plaque reads:
Here as he walked by
on the 16th of October 1843
Sir William Rowan Hamilton
in a flash of genius discovered
the fundamental formula for
quaternion multiplication
i² = j² = k² = ijk = −1
& cut it on a stone of this bridge.
Given the historical importance of the bridge with respect to mathematics, mathematicians the world over have been known to make a pilgrimage of sorts to the site.
The promoter/owner of the space should consider looking up Peter at www.the360co.com. With all the exposure co-working spaces get this could be a good business opportunity for both.
