Sir William Rowan Hamilton
Hamilton (1805-65) was arguably the greatest Irish scientist. He made many contributions to physics, especially in mechanics and optics, as well as inventing quaternion algebra. His greatest work is his general theory of dynamics. His Hamiltonian operator (H) was crucial to the development of quantum mechanics, and today it is used by physicists, engineers and even economists. Hamilton spent all his working life as Astronomer Royal at Dunsink Observatory.

Quaternion Plaque on Broombridge
A photo of the quaternion plaque on Broombridge. William Rowan Hamilton discovered his famous mathematical formula for multiplying quaternions on 16 October 1843 while walking along the towpath of the Royal Canal with his wife. He later claimed to have carved the formula on a stone on Broombridge. This plaque commemorates the occasion.
