On the Rotations Taking One Vector into Another
Trenkler, Gotz
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science & Technology, v37 n5 p614-618 Jul 2006
For two given vectors of the three-dimensional Euclidean space we investigate the problem of identifying all rotations that transform them into each other. For this purpose we consider three types of rotation matrices to obtain a complete characterization. Finally some attention is paid to the problem of obtaining all rotations taking two vectors into two other vectors.
