Hi, I have a simple question.
Given two orientations of a body in space, how can it be proven that at least two (or three?) Euler angles are needed to get from one orientation to the other? I am designing a mechanism and someone suggested moving it in a way that would require two hinges. I know that it is intuitively true, but I would like to prove it with math.
