Euler's rotation theorem
nameEtymology
Named after Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707–1783), who proved the theorem in 1775.

A theorem which states that, in 3-dimensional space, any displacement of a rigid body such that some point on it remains fixed is equivalent to a single rotation about some axis that runs through said point.
- Otherwise, this approach will be valid subject to the previous rotation of the axes according to Euler's Rotation Theorem.
- From Euler's rotation theorem we know that an arbitrary rotation in three dimensions can be parameterized by three independent variables called the Euler angles, each rotating around an orthogonal axis.
