51List of simple Lie groups — In mathematics, the simple Lie groups were classified by Élie Cartan.The list of simple Lie groups can be used to read off the list of simple Lie algebras and Riemannian symmetric spaces. See also the table of Lie groups for a smaller list of… …
52Slerp — In computer graphics, Slerp is shorthand for spherical linear interpolation, introduced by Ken Shoemake in the context of quaternion interpolation for the purpose of animating 3D rotation. It refers to constant speed motion along a unit radius… …
53Rotation matrix — In linear algebra, a rotation matrix is a matrix that is used to perform a rotation in Euclidean space. For example the matrix rotates points in the xy Cartesian plane counterclockwise through an angle θ about the origin of the Cartesian… …
543-sphere — Stereographic projection of the hypersphere s parallels (red), meridians (blue) and hypermeridians (green). Because this projection is conformal, the curves intersect each other orthogonally (in the yellow points) as in 4D. All curves are circles …
55Hopf fibration — In the mathematical field of topology, the Hopf fibration (also known as the Hopf bundle or Hopf map) describes a 3 sphere (a hypersphere in four dimensional space) in terms of circles and an ordinary sphere. Discovered by Heinz Hopf in 1931, it… …
56Biquaternion — In abstract algebra, the biquaternions are the numbers where w, x, y, and z are complex numbers and the elements of {1, i, j, k} multiply as in the quaternion group. As there are three types of complex number, so there are three types of… …

58Charts on SO(3) — In mathematics, the special orthogonal group in three dimensions, otherwise known as the rotation group SO(3), is a naturally occurring example of a manifold. The various charts on SO(3) set up rival coordinate systems: in this case there cannot… …
59Versor — In mathematics, a versor is a directed great circle arc that corresponds to a quaternion of norm one. In geometry and physics, a versor is sometimes defined as a unit vector indicating the orientation of a directed axis (such as a Cartesian axis) …
60Rational motion — In kinematics, the motion of a rigid body is defined as a continuous set of displacements. One parameter motions can be definedas a continuous displacement of moving object with respect to a fixed frame in Euclidean three space ( E 3), where the… …
