[NOTES/CM-08005] Finite Rotations of Vectors about an Arbitrary Axis$\newcommand{\Prime}{{^\prime}}$ Using geometrical arguments, we will derive the result \begin{equation}\vec{A}^\prime = \vec{A} - (\hat{n}\times\vec{A})\, \sin\alpha + \hat{n}\times (\hat{n}\times\vec{A})\, (1-\cos\alpha ) \end{equation}between components of vectors related by a rotation by and angle \(\theta\) about an axis \(\hat n\). |
