No background in sets required for this video. In this video, we will learn how the quaternions can be thought of as pairings of complex numbers. We also will show how the quaternions can be written as a 2x2 complex matrix as opposed to a 4x4 real matrix and how the unit quaternions form the special unitary group, SU(2).
