Detailed Description

Common floating point quaternion functions.

Quaternion is a mathematical concept used to represent 3D rotations. It consists of four components (one real part and three imaginary parts) and is more efficient and stable for representing rotations than traditional methods like Euler angles or rotation matrices. Quaternions help avoid problems like gimbal lock and allow for smooth interpolation between rotations (known as SLERP). They are crucial for 3D transformations in animations, camera controls, object rotations, and physics simulations in real-time graphics.
