Add numerical differentiation and integation routines for quaternions #346

Closed mattngc closed 4 years ago

mattngc commented 4 years ago

To complete the quaternion side of the math framework we need numerical integration and differentiation operators. These are essential for the conversions between angular velocity, angular acceleration and changes in orientation as a function of time. All are crucial operations for more advanced scenes that evolve over time with realistic kinematics.

On more reflection, most of this feature is out of scope. But minimum needed was complete in #345.
