Doing Physics with Quaternions
by Douglas B. Sweetser
2005
Number of pages: 157
Description:
Quaternions are numbers like the real numbers: they can be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided. Quaternions are composed of four numbers that work together as one. This book is an introduction to quaternions and a brief summary of important laws in physics written as quaternions.

Quaternions, Interpolation and Animation
by Erik B. Dam, Martin Koch, Martin Lillholm - University of Copenhagen
This text introduces quaternions, their mathematical properties, and how they can be used to rotate objects. We introduce quaternion mathematics and discuss why quaternions are a better choice for implementing rotation than matrix implementations.
