Rotational dynamics with geometric algebraA new spinor formulation of rotational dynamics is developed. A general theorem is established reducing the theory of the symmetric top to that of the spherical top. The classical problems of Lagrange and Poinsot are treated in detail, along with a modern application to the theory of magnetic resonance.
