Information
axis angle of rotation (Definition)

The axis angle of rotation is a result of Euler's theorem of rotation and it describes a rotation of a three dimensional rigid body by a unit vector

$\displaystyle \hat{e} = \left[ \begin{array}{c} e_1 \ e_2 \ e_3 \end{array} \right]$ (1)

and an angle of rotation, $\alpha $.
