I have to specify beforehand in which axis i will rotate: ~ex.: ZXZ Also all Euler Angles will do 3 elementary rotations:

Where for formality:

  • ROLL” : always means a rotation along the axis
  • PITCH” : always means a rotation along the axis
  • YAW” : always means a rotation along the axis

This are names that sailor uses for rotating the ships


  • ~ Examples of Euler Angles Rotations:
    • ZXZ (Most used for the Euler Angles, ‘Standard for Euler Angles’):$$ R^O_{O \kern 1px ’} = R_z(\varphi) \kern 1px R_x(\theta) \kern 1px R_z(\psi)

R^O_{O \kern 1px ’} = R_z(\varphi) \kern 1px R_y(\theta) \kern 1px R_x(\psi)
