[PAR] [TLE] Hamilton Institute [SEP] The Hamilton Institute is a multi-disciplinary research centre at the National University of Ireland Maynooth, named after William Rowan Hamilton, arguably Ireland's most distinguished mathematician. [PAR] [TLE] William Rowan Hamilton [SEP] Sir William Rowan Hamilton PRIA FRSE (4 August 1805 – 2 September 1865) was an Irish physicist, astronomer, and mathematician, who made important contributions to classical mechanics, optics, and algebra.  His studies of mechanical and optical systems led him to discover new mathematical concepts and techniques.  His best known contribution to mathematical physics is the reformulation of Newtonian mechanics, now called Hamiltonian mechanics.  This work has proven central to the modern study of classical field theories such as electromagnetism, and to the development of quantum mechanics.  In pure mathematics, he is best known as the inventor of quaternions.
