Gimbal lock is no problem of rotation matrices but of euler angles. Just look up the wikipedia page you posted: "The problem of gimbal lock appears when one uses Euler angles in applied mathematics"
You can represent any (any!) rotation with rotation matrices.
Quaternions are neither commutative. Fortunately you don't need commutativity to build up arbitrary rotations.
- macawfish 8y agoThanks, I realize now that the non-commutativity I was noticing is more a property of SO(3), which can be seen both in quaternion and matrix representations of rotations.
