What you will learn

How to represent attitude using DCMs, Euler Angles and Quaternions

How to convert between the representations

Know what the conventions and standards are and what they mean

Understand the advantages and disadvantages of the representations

How to calculate transforms between different reference frames

How to use Python to analyse attitude related problems

How to program a complete C++ Attitude Math Library

Why take this course?

You need to learn know Attitude Representations and Transformations!

Engineers, Game Developers, 3D Graphics Programmers all require fundamental knowledge of attitude representations and transformations.

These concepts are used extensively in engineering, simulation, games, computer graphics, and so on.

Why focus on Attitude

Different attitude representations have different limitations, advantages and disadvantages.
Different standards and conventions which can be confusing and are commonly misunderstood.
Difficult for beginners to comprehend rotation transformations
Fundamental concept used in engineering and programming (from autopilot control systems to computer games)

So you don’t waste time trying to solve or debug problems that would be easily avoided with this knowledge! Become a Subject Matter Expert!

Who is this course for:

University students or independent learners.
Aerospace Engineers. This is their bread and butter!
Engineering professionals who wants to brush up on the math theory and skills related to simulation and analysis.
Programmers who wish to understand the basic concepts behind attitude representations and transformations and how to use them from scratch or in existing products (i.e. Unity or other 3D engines).
Anyone already proficient with math “in theory” and want to learn how to implement the theory in code.

So what are you waiting for??

The course is well made, present a straightforward and simple to understand method of work. I appreciate very much the validation of the theoretical expectation using python and the use of test unit for the library made during the course. It's a simple but efficient way to catch the misunderstandings or errors and mentally enforce the concept just learned.

Everything is amazing. Let's dive into the content for which we've enrolled and see if it is worth it.

I love this course i learned much from this from zero to hero but remember one thing if you are not in robotics or aeronautics field than you have to learn the basics first as i did such as reference frames , trigonometry , algebra , and matrix operations this course will give you complete implementation in c++ as well as in python learn the course patiently and fully concentrated i think the money is respected here thank you Dr Dumbel your student Muhammad Salman

It is the best course to learn about attitude representation and transformation. This course is a must have to anyone who wishes to get started with attitude representation and transformation. A request to instructor : Kindly add a example/section on how to represent and transform attitude of an flying object (e.g. UAV or aircraft) based on data read from sensor like IMU.

Awesome course, I would say zero to hero course if we keep practicing and inculcating. More animations (ideally all the time) can be used to represent rotations instead of using pictures only.

I think the course is excellent and the reason I did not mark it 5* is mainly due to: 1- Instructor did not avail Python source code. This is crucial for someone registered in the course to see Python code for the subject meeting industry standards. 2- He is not attending concerns and questions as other instructors in udemy However, the instructor is solid and he has the knowledge and experience to share. As a further improvement, I suggest that the source code for either c++ or Python is not required to go through it thoroughly but it suffices to avail them and present key points/features. This will save time to spend on some theoretical stuff such as roots of theoretical part.

This course is not useful. Most of it is a review of theoretical concepts without a clear practical application. The example code that was shown is very fast without explaining the steps effectively. Explanation is very fast. My advice to everyone is not to participate in this course. The propaganda that has been presented is completely incompatible with its very weak scientific value

Love it...I have books on the subject matter, but this instructor finds a simple and very direct way to explain it...a great class

This fantastic course really helped me to sort out this complex matter in my head. Thank you Mr. Dumble for creating this course and sharing your knowledge with us.

Sade, anlaşılır ve güzel bir anlatım kullanılarak kurs başladı. Katkısının çok olacağını düşünmekteyim.

It's interesting, seeing the various rotation types compared and implemented, with a professional focus. Quite useful for reference.

Pros : Well prepared course material. Aerospace-grade ;-) source code libraries provided for reference and personal use. Good practical insights, and enough knowledge gained to make other source material approachable. Cons : The C++ coding videos got a bit tedious at the end. Would have preferred a quick overall description and walkthrough, with more time for additional real world exercises. Also would have liked downloadable python code for reference, it got a bit painful looking at and pausing the playback to copy the code off the screen.
