Results of the Previous Example Using the Hamilton Half-angle Formula


  Hamilton's quaternion half-angle rotation formula gives exactly the same results for the series of rotations in the previous blog with less calculation.

Equilateral triangle calculation,


Calculation for rotation by angle α about =,


Calculation for rotation by angle β about p̂'=â'k̂,


Calculation for rotation by angle γ about p̂''=â'',
