Detailed Description

Vectors can represent physical points, translations, accelerations, velocities or other arbitrary tuples in \(\mathbb{R}^3\).

Vectors can be constructed from Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z) or spherical coordinates (radius, polar angle, azimuth). Use the From* methods to construct an instance.

Internally vectors are stored in Cartesian form.

** **

Spherical coordinates follow the physics convention: * radius: [r \geq 0]

  • polar_angle: \(0 \leq \theta \leq \pi\) (angle from +z axis)
  • azimuth: \(-\pi < \phi \leq \pi\) (angle from +x axis toward +y)

The Lie group for 3-dimensional vectors (under matrix multiplication) is the SE(3) sub-group whose elements are 4x4 homogeneous transform matrices with identity rotation [[I, vector],[0, 1]].
