Euler Angles Explained | Numerical Methods with Python 7

This video covers how to intuitively understand eulers angles, and how they are useful for describing rotations and reference frame orientations. There are many ways to describe rotations, but euler angles are one of the more intuitive ones for humans to understand (as opposed to quaternions or principal axis and angle). This video goes over several different examples in order to demonstrate how euler angles are used for describing the orientations of reference frames, including: spacecraft attitude controls, keplerian orbital elements, the Space Shuttle, and airplanes.
