How to convert Euler angles to Quaternions and get the same Euler angles back from Quaternions?

I am rotating n 3D shape using Euler angles in the order of XYZ meaning that the object is first rotated along the X axis, then Y and then Z. I want to convert the Euler angle to Quaternion and then get the same Euler angles back from the Quaternion…

Infinite sum of Python for loop

I'm a geometry student. Recently we were doing all kinds of crazy circle stuff, and it occurred to me that I don't know why $\pi r^2$ is the area of a circle. I mean, how do I really know that's true, aside from just taking my teachers + books at…

Doubling Point Formula of Elliptic Curve is Not Working

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve and a point $P = (x, y) \in E,$ from the duplication formula, the x-coordinate of $2P$ is - $$x_{(2P)}=(x^4-b_4*x^2-2*b_6*x-b_8)/(4*x^3+b_2*x^2+2*b_4*x+b_6)$$ The formula is given on page $54$ in book The Arithmetic…

Number of ways to place $n$ rooks on $n$ by $n$ board such that they don't hit each other. But someone has cut out squares of one of diagonals.

I was thinking about asking this is chat because I thought that my concern is not serious enough, but it became too long so here I am. I hope that the question is clear: you just can't place rooks on squares with coordinates $(1, 1), 2, 2)$ and so…
