1It looks like you're trying to find the quaternion that performs a particular spatial rotation. Is that correct? – Adrian Keister Jan 25 '19 at 21:38

The rotation about unit vector $u_x\mathbf{i}+u_y\mathbf{j}+u_z\mathbf{k}$ through an angle $\theta$ corresponds to the quaternion $\mathbf{q}=\cos(\theta/2)+(u_x\mathbf{i}+u_y\mathbf{j}+u_z\mathbf{k}),\sin(\theta/2)$. – Adrian Keister Jan 25 '19 at 21:42

I'd like to find a quaternion that rotates q1 so it matches q2. The actual problem I was trying to solve is in this thread: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/3087370/finding-the-quaternion-that-rotates-a-coordinate-system-to-match-another – Övünç Tüzel Jan 25 '19 at 23:35

2Possible duplicate of Finding the Quaternion that rotates a coordinate system to match another. You didn't really have to make a new contextless question. – rschwieb Jan 26 '19 at 13:50
