Extract

The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the Whitehead group K1 (Zπ) of the quaternion group π of order 8. We show that the natural mapping of the units ± π of Zπ into K1(Zπ) induces an isomorphism between K1(Zπ) and ± V, where V, Klein's 4-group, is the commutator quotient group of π.
