Up to now transformations have been defined by homogeneous matrices combining a rotation matrix \mathbf{R} and a translation vector \vec{\mathbf{p}}. Now a new notation is introduced to represent a transformation using two quaternions e and p:


\mathbf{T} = \left[\begin{array}{cccc} & & & \\ & \mathbf{R} &  & \vec{\mathbf{p}} \\ & & & \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1\end{array}\right] \equiv \left\{e,p\right\}
