This video introduces the concept of ‘Rotation Matrices’ as a way to represent the rotation, or orientation, of one coordinate frame relative to another. The three rotation matrices (rotation around X, Y, and Z) are given, and the derivation of the rotation around the Z axis shown. This video also shows how any rotations can be accomplished by stringing together rotations around X, Y, and Z, and multiplying the corresponding matrices.
