## Non-integrability of the angular velocity vector {#non-integrability-of-the-angular-velocity-vector}
The non-integrability of the angular velocity vector is well described in (<a href="#citeproc_bib_item_1">Legnani et al. 2012</a>).
> It is well known that the angular velocity vector is not the time derivative of any set of angular coordinates.
> In other words, it is impossible to define a set of three coordinates representing the 3D angular position of a body whose time derivative is equal to the angular velocity vector.
This is illustrated in [Figure 1](#figure--fig:angular-nonintegrability).
