The Elements of the Rotation Matrices in Terms of Rodriguez's Parameters.

Abstract

The elements of the rotation matrices, for arbitrary L, as well as those of the matrix S which rotates the cartesian coordinates, are expressed in terms of Rodriguez's parameters, viz., the direction cosines of the axis, lambda, mu, epsilon, and the angle of rotation, omega. (Author)
