  • Abstract
    The rotation vector differential equation is vital to the attitude algorithm in the modern strapdown inertial navigation system. A substitutive derivation of the rotation vector differential equation in geometric algebra (GA) form is provided by utilizing the kinematic equation of rotors. The GA form of the equation inherits the simplicity and efficiency of the vector form. Moreover, it is universal in any dimension.
