I'm not currently doing any coding that requires it, but I am confident that I could code up quaternion rotations without much trouble should the need arise. In fact, that is the purpose of this book more or less, to teach you to be able to do just that.Those that are looking for a mathematically rigorous development of quaternions should look elsewhere. However, even for the more mathematically inclined (like I consider myself to be), since there are no difficult proofs to follow, the book can be read blazingly fast (just a few hours). If you are mathematically knowledgeable but have no real knowledge of quaternions (they aren't covered in any regular courses at my university, for example), this little book (it is quite slim!) can get you familiar, and fast. Some of the stuff covered in the book for the sake of completeness is extremely elementary, so if you are already familiar with these things (e.g. what a field is), I would say go ahead and skim those parts.I give this book 5 stars for being the perfect book to get any mathematically adept person up to speed on the somewhat obscure mathematical entities called "quaternions"; if you are additionally a programmer, the book will also prepare you to write code to rotate arbitrary vectors using quaternions. The book also contains a marvelous discussion of complex numbers and their rotational properties, which naturally sets the stage for quaternions and their own rotational properties.Note that in order to read this book you should at least be familiar with basic vector operations (mainly dot product and cross product; Calculus 3 is more than enough), as well as very basic linear algebra (i.e., know what a matrix is, how it operates on a vector, and how to multiply matrices). ### ⭐⭐ Very small book *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2022* This book is $60ish dollars and is the price of a small novella. I was fully expecting a college sized book with a significant amount of text. This is a gift so I guess we will see if the $60 is worthwhile for the size. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic! *by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2021* By far, the most comprehensive book on rotations and quaternions. Not only does the author teach you, but he does it in a way that you will understand. The chapters contain examples, solutions, and theories. For years, I've failed to understand and visualize quaternions. After reading this book for a few hours, I went back to the board and solved my outstanding problem. Words cannot explain how thankful I am for this material. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/9934908-quaternions-for-computer-graphics](https://www.desertcart.in/products/9934908-quaternions-for-computer-graphics) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
