| title | Exploring Non-Commutative 3D Rotations with Grassmann Algebra |
People find rotation hard because when we try to visualize something, often we project it onto a 2D plane. But for rotations, this loses the plot because 2D rotations DO commute. In this post, we will (symbolically) explore this non-commutative nature of 3D rotations using Grassmann algebra in Julia. We'll use the Grassmann package to define rotors and demonstrate how the order of rotations matters in three-dimensional space.
