Obtaining triplet from quaternions
In this study, we obtain triplets from quaternions. First, we obtain triplets from real quaternions. Then, as an application of this, we obtain dual triplets from the dual quaternions. Quaternions, in many areas, it allows ease in calculations and geometric representation. Quaternions are four dimensions. The triplets are in three dimensions. When we express quaternions with triplets, our study is conducted even easier. Quaternions are very important in the display of rotational movements. Dual quaternions are important in the expression of screw movements. Reducing movements from four dimensions to three dimensions makes our study easier. This simplicity is achieved by obtaining triplets from quaternions.
