[SciPy-Dev] [GSOC 2018 Project Thread]: Rotation formalism in 3 dimensions

[Aditya Bharti]

Hi all,
So this concludes week 1 of GSoC 2018. I must say it was a great learning
experience and I invite you all to check out my account of this week on the
blog <https://blogs.python-gsoc.org/aditya-bharti/>. This email is more of
a technical update.

   - So, the main `Rotation` class will live under a new sub module
   `scipy.spatial.transform`.
   - Conversion between quaternions and discrete cosine matrices was
   implemented.
   - The rotation class now supports `from_quaternion`, `from_dcm`,
   `as_quaternion` and `as_dcm`, with support for multiple rotations in one
   call.

The project currently lives in my own fork of scipy here
<https://github.com/adbugger/scipy/tree/rotation/scipy/spatial/transform>.
Stay tuned for more updates!

Best,
Aditya
