Mathematical and scientific investigations

Cockle is also remembered for his mathematical and scientific investigations. For instance he invented tessarines and coquaternions, and worked with Arthur Cayley (1821–1895) on the theory of linear algebra. The tessarines are a mathematical idea introduced by James Cockle in 1848 In Abstract algebra, the split-quaternions or coquaternions are elements of an Associative algebra introduced by James Cockle in 1849 under the Arthur Cayley ( August 16 1821 - January 26 1895) was a British Mathematician.

In Mathematics, a quintic equation is a Polynomial Equation of degree five The Abel–Ruffini theorem (also known as Abel's impossibility theorem) states that there is no general solution in radicals to Polynomial equations of In Mathematics, an n th root of a Number a is a number b such that bn = a. In this field Cockle achieved some notable results, amongst which is his reproduction of Sir William R. Hamilton's modification of Abel's theorem. Sir William Rowan Hamilton (4 August 1805 &ndash 2 September 1865 was an Irish Mathematician, Physicist, and Astronomer who Algebraic forms were a favourite object of his studies. He also made contributions to the theory of differential equations, in particular the development of the theory of differential invariants or criticoids. A differential equation is a mathematical Equation for an unknown function of one or several variables that relates the values of the

He displayed a keen interest in scientific societies. From 1863 to 1879 he was president of the Queensland Philosophical Society (now incorporated in the Royal Society of Queensland); on his return to England he became associated with the London Mathematical Society, of which he was president from 1886 to 1888, and the Royal Astronomical Society, serving as a member of the council from 1888 to 1892.
