 | | \medskip (ii) Prove that the {\it Veronese map\/} $\mapdef{V_3}{\reals^4}{\reals^{10}}$ defined such that \[V_3(x, y, z, t) = (x^2,\, y^2,\, z^2,\, t^2,\, xy,\, yz,\, xz,\, xt,\, yt,\, zt)\] induces a homeomorphism of $\rprospac{3}$ onto $V_3(S^3)$. |
 | | You may use a cubic spline curve in the appropriate space, and either use quaternion interpolation, or the exponential map and Rodrigues' formula. |
