Abstract
In this paper we introduce and define the quaternion; we give a brief introduction to its properties and algebra, and we show (what appears to be) its primary application—the quaternion rotation operator. The quaternion rotation operator competes with the conventional matrix rotation operator in a variety of rotation sequences.
