Afternoon,

I'm studying Engineering Dynamics (4th Year Undergraduate) and I was wondering if anyone can point me to a resource with regards to rotating reference frames and vector notation? The notes I've been given aren't particularly helpful.

Much appreciated.

Hi BrIDo! :smile:

Try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_frame" , or several pages in the PF Library. :wink:
