Description

use parse_multivariate_rational_polynomial to parse quaternions for example "2+3i+5j-2k".

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at the existing `parse multivariate rational polynomial` function and extend it to handle quaternion forms like '2+3i+5j 2k'. Understand the parsing logic and add support for imaginary units i, j, k.
