First sentence: It is a well-known fact that rotations in three-dimensional Euclidean space can be represented by means of complex 2 x 2 matrices and that this representation is related to the stereographic projection of complex numbers (see, e.g., Goldstein 1980, Penrose and Rindler 1984, Burn 1985, Sattinger and Weaver 1986, Stillwell 1992).
