They possess useful properties such as the ability to describe rotations around any axis and the ability to combine rotations using multiplication. Therefore, they are widely used in applications such as computer games, animation, and robotics. In this work, we will provide an introduction to rotation quaternions, how they are similar to complex numbers, and how they can be used in rotation calculations.Acesso AbertoQuatérnionsRotaçãoNúmeros complexosAplicaçõesRotationComplex numbersApplicationsTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoCIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA
