I've recently had a discussion with a mathematician studying finite fields. He asked me if finite fields have been used in computer graphics for achieving fast rotations. The only thing that I've seen in the graphics literature in this context is the use of quaternions. But how about more general finite fields? If anyone has seen a reference in this direction, please mail me.
