From Euler's theorem on Rotation, "Any rotation in space can be represented as a rotation about a fixed axis at a given angle", I derived the rotation matrix R in terms of the Euler parameters lambda_0=cos(u/2) and lambda=sin(u/2)*h, where h is the axis of rotation with unit length and u the angle of rotation.
As an example of the application of the Lagrange equations I derived the equations of motion for a simple 2D model of an overhead container crane in terms of independent generalized coordinates.
Start with the constraint equations of motion and add the constraints on the level of the accelerations this gives you the full sparse DAE from which you can solve the accelerations of the cm of the bodies together with the constraint forces.

In mechanics, there are Euler angles (to specify the orientation of a rigid body); Euler's theorem (that every rotation has an axis); Euler's equations for motion of fluids; and the Euler-Lagrange equation (that comes from calculus of variations).
The "Euler's formula" with which most calculus students are familiar defines the exponentials of imaginary numbers in terms of trigonometric functions; however, there is another "Euler's formula" that gives the values of the Riemann zeta function at positive even integers in terms of Bernoulli numbers.

 The Founders Of Classical Mechanics :: Leonhard Euler
Just in mechanics, one has Euler angles (to specify the orientation of a rigid body), Euler's theorem (that every rotation has an axis), Euler's equations for motion of fluids, and the Euler-Lagrange equation (that comes from calculus of variations).
Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) was arguably the greatest mathematician of the eighteenth century (His closest competitor for that title is Lagrange) and one of the most prolific of all time; his publication list of 886 papers and books may be exceeded only by Paul Erdös.
