Eulerian Angles

</dt>
A system of three angles which uniquely define with reference to one coordinate system (e.g., earth axes), the orientation of a second coordinate system (e.g., body axes). Any orientation of the second system is obtainable from that of the first by rotation through each of the three angles in turn, the sequence of which is important. [[/a>|/a> ]]
