// "Given a vector v = theta * v_norm (in R^3), the exponential:
// exp(v) = SUM(i = 0, i -> inf, v^i) = (cos(theta), v_norm * sin(theta)) in S^3
// becomes the unit quaternion which represents the rotation by angle 2*theta
// about the axis v_norm, where v^i is computed using the quaternion multiplication."
//
// In other words... The Exponential converts a VECTOR represented by an ANGLE
// and a normalized AXIS to a quaternion. A Unity function for this:
// exp(v) -> Q := Quaternion.AngleAxis(v.magnitude, v.normalized);
//
// Its inverse map, log, would thus be the conversion from a Quaternion to an
// Angle-Axis representation. Quaternion.ToAngleAxisVector():
// log(Q) -> v := Q.ToAngleAxisVector() -> v
