function E = rx( theta ) % rx 3x3 coordinate rotation (X-axis) % rx(theta) calculates the 3x3 rotational coordinate transform matrix from % A to B coordinates, where coordinate frame B is rotated by an angle theta % (radians) relative to frame A about their common X axis. c = cos(theta); s = sin(theta); E = [ 1 0 0; 0 c s; 0 -s c ];
