The definitions of quaternions and dual quaternions look particularly neat. Are there other (non-"geometric algebra") ways to define (dual) quaternions without reference to a basis? Edit: I guess the "scalar and vector parts&

You don't need to use O(n^3) Gaussian elimination to find natural cubic splines: you can write the system of equations as a tridiagonal matrix, which can be solved in linear time. https://splines.readthedocs.io/en/

Can someone here explain how this works? I'm not sure how reliable it is, but here's[1] an old Reddit comment describing the method that Desmos (2D) uses. That method works in 3D, so maybe Desmos 3D uses it, too. [1]: https:&#x2F
