摘要
We consider the three-dimensional sphere as a hypersurface embedded in the four-dimensional Euclidean space. The pre-images of polynomial and rational curves in the Euclidean 3-space under stereographic projection form a special class of rational curves on 3-sphere. We investigate these spherical curves in terms of Cartesian coordinates and quaternions.
