    Undergrad Most Efficient way to solve for Euler Angles

    Hi guys, could you please help me out? Essentially, a laser is pointing at a certain point in 3 dimensional space. There is a fixed target that the laser is specifically supposed to point to. My job is to find the most efficient way to solve for the euler angles(yaw pitch and roll) in order...
