transitions from point-particle physics to the study of objects with finite size. This chapter is heavily mathematical, focusing on how to describe an object's orientation and how to transform coordinates between a fixed "space" system and a "body" system fixed to the rotating object. Key Concepts for Solving Chapter 4 Problems Orthogonal Transformations : Rigid body motion is modeled using orthogonal matrices ( ) where the inverse is simply the transpose ( Euler Angles : A set of three independent angles (
