Homework Statement
Not a homework problem but:
I am revising rotating frames of reference right now and
I know that: a[itex]_{inertial}[/itex]=([itex]\frac{dv}{dt}[/itex][itex]_{inertial}[/itex])[itex]_{rot}[/itex]+(w x v[itex]_{inertial}[/itex])
But I cannot seem to understand what ([itex]\frac{dv}{dt}[/itex][itex]_{inertial}[/itex])[itex]_{rot}[/itex] means; more so the 'rotational' bit outside the brackets of the true acceleration term.
Thank you for your help, and sorry about the formating; I have no idea how to use latex.

The Attempt at a Solution
Inertial acceleration viewed from the rotating frame? That makes no sense whatsoever. I honestly can't physically understand this.
