1 Euler Angles

2 Three Angles  A rotation matrix can be described with three free parameters. Select three separate rotations about body axesSelect three separate rotations about body axes 1) Rotation of  about e 3 axis. 2) Rotation of  about e 1 axis. 3) Rotation of  about e 3 axis.  These are the Euler angles. e1e1 e2e2 e3e3   

3 Euler Matrices  Any vector z can be rotated though the Euler angles.  Equivalent matrix operation is the product of three separate operations.

4 Full Rotation  Any rotation is then expressed with the three angles.

5 Matching Terms  The terms in the  matrix correspond to the components of the angular velocity vector.  The relationship between angular velocity and Euler angles comes from the S matrix.

6 Body Frame  The angular velocity in the body frame can be expressed in terms of Euler angles. x1x1 x2x2 x3x3
