How do I express a unit quaternion in exponential form? [closed]
$begingroup$
Let $t,u,v$ lie in the interval $(-pi, pi]$
If we assume that
$$ cos(t)cos(u)cos(v) + sin(t)cos(u)cos(v)i + sin(u)cos(v)j + sin(v)k = e^z$$ such that $z$ is also a quaternion, what does z equal and why?

The link provided by @MattiP shows this:
If $ mathbf{v} in mathbb{H}_P$ is an imaginary quaternion, putting $theta=|mathbf{v}|$ we have:
$$
e^mathbf{v}= costheta + mathbf{v};dfrac{sin theta}{theta}
$$
$$newcommand{bv}{{mathbf v}}
$$
In your case, we want to find $bv$ (which you've called "z"), but we know the right hand side. In particular, we can let
$$
theta = cos^{-1} (cos(t)cos(u)cos(v))
$$
and then $cos theta$ will be equal to the real part of your quaternion, as needed.
To determine $bv$, we multiply the vector part of your quaternion by $frac{theta}{sin theta}$ to get
$$
bv = frac{theta}{sin theta}
left( sin(t)cos(u)cos(v)i + sin(u)cos(v)j + sin(v)k right)
$$
In this expression, $sin theta$ can be simplified a little, because it's a sine of an arc-cosine, but it's probably not worth doing.
You can probably also get to all this by using Rodrigues' formula, but I doubt it's any simpler.
