\begin{document}
The axis angle of rotation is a result of Euler's \htmladdnormallink{theorem}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/Formula.html} of rotation and it describes a rotation of a three dimensional \htmladdnormallink{rigid body}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/RigidBody.html} by a \htmladdnormallink{unit vector}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/PureState.html} \begin{equation}
\hat{e} = \left[ \begin{array}{c} e_1 \\ e_2 \\ e_3 \end{array} \right] \end{equation}
and an angle of rotation, $ \alpha $.
