    Abstract

    The life and works of William Rowan Hamilton have produced a lot of public interest over many years. Consequently, Hamilton's story has contributed greatly to mathematics education in relation to the general public. This paper illustrates the wide diversity of ways that the general public has interacted with the Hamilton story.
