Please Reply to: rupertj at email.uah.edu Hello All, I have crusied the web, read the Mathematica help, and looked at many of the posted email questions but none answer my question. Maybe ya'll can help. I am working on a project that involves several different coordinate systems. These coordinate systems are arbitrarily set-up by me to easyily describe that part of the system. I will have to be able to write the position, velocity, acceleration, etc. vectors in terms of these several different coordinates. All the unit vectors are orthogonal and right-handed. I also have all the angles involved in the rotation from one coordinate system to another. Is their any way to set-up a rotation matrices so that this can easily be done? Does any one have an example that I can follow? Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated. Can you refrence me to any sources to examine. Are there any Mathematica user groups where daily postings are made? Thanks again, Jason Rupert UAH Huntsville, AL Reply to: rupertj at email.uah.edu ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
