On a Study of the Quaternionic Lorentzian Curve

In this study, Serret-Frenet Formulas for a space-quaternionic curve were obtained by considering quaternions and pseudo-quaternions in three-dimensional Lorentz Space . The Serret-Frenet Formulas for a Quaternionic Lorentz Curve  were then re-derived using them.
