teaser for “rotations are deceptively hard. let’s find out!”

Rotating an object seems simple, but in practice, it’s suprisingly tricky. Between Euler angles, matrices, quaternions, and beyond, each representation brings its own pitfalls and confusions. And because rotations appear in nearly every STEM field — graphics, physics, robotics, controls, computer vision, you’ll likely encounter them no matter what you work on. This talk unpacks why rotations are hard and how to work with them more easily.
