In this syntax, the global coordinate origin is located at 0,0,0 and the coordinate axes are the unit vectors in the x, y, and z directions. This is usually done by defining the zeropoint of some coordinate with respect to the coordinates of the other frame as well as specifying the relative orientation. Though the matrix m could be used to rotate and scale vectors, it cannot deal with points, and we want to be able to translate points and objects. In this case, the transformation represented by the matrix in equation 1. Since we will making extensive use of vectors in dynamics, we will summarize some of their important properties.
