Abstract

It has been shown in general that the matrix representation of an octonion makes a homothetic motion. In this study, it is shown that the unit octonions can be taken like the rotation operators. Thus a geometric interpretation can be given for unit octonions. © 1997 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
