John Voight is Professor of Mathematics at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. His research interests lie in arithmetic algebraic geometry and number theory, with a particular interest in computational aspects. He has taught graduate courses in algebra, number theory, cryptography, as well as the topic of this book, quaternion algebras.
“The book contains a huge amount of interesting and very well-chosen exercises. … This ‘encyclopedic’ character of the text may play an important role both as a guide to some special topics and as a source of information for both students and those whose research in related fields creates a need to familiarize themselves with the knowledge of the case when quaternion algebras are relevant.” (Juliusz Brzeziński, Mathematical Reviews, September, 2022)
