We present an elementary discussion of two basic properties of angular displacements, namely, the anticommutation of finite rotations, and the commutation of infinitesimal rotations, and show how commutation is achieved as the angular displacements get smaller and smaller.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
