It says in the introduction Euler used quaternions for [[Magic squares]]. This seems unlikely as the math is completely unrelated. Can somebody figure out if there is some way this is true and maybe fix the link?
 
== This page says it deals with JPL quaternions, and I think it's not quite right ==
 
At the beginning of the section '''Definition''', it's written "''For the rest of this article, the "passive" [[JPL]] [[quaternion]] convention shall be used.''"
There are two problems with this:
 
1) I don't think this is right, both the rotation matrix and the quaternion product formulas seem to be consistent with Hamilton matrices instead.
 
2) The page [[Quaternions and spatial rotation]] makes very valid points on why Hamilton quaternions should be favored, so using only Hamilton quaternions here should be preferred. [[User:Ebernardes|Ebernardes]] ([[User talk:Ebernardes|talk]]) 14:31, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
