"Generator of rotations"...rotations of WHAT?
The angular momentum operator is defined as the "generator of rotations." Fine. But rotations of WHAT? What's being rotated? The wave function (doesn't make sense; isn't the wave function a scalar), perhaps? An arbitrary vector in the coordinate system under investigation?
