In this video, we do a deep dive into Hamilton's quaternions in order to bring clarity to the language surrounding complex numbers and quaternions. I also reference another paper in this video for comparison purposes, to help us understand what quaternions are NOT. This video is a bit longer than most of my videos but I felt it was important to make all of my points in one video instead of splitting it into a series.
Here is a link to my P5JS code for quaternions that I just finished writing. This is not the same code that I show in the video (which was c++ in my old code base), but is very similar and much better in terms of clean code. Just cut and paste my code into the P5Js editor and it should run no problem.
