Accurate discretizations of torqued rigid body dynamics

This paper investigates the solution of the free rigid body equations of motion, as well as of the equations governing the torqued rigid body. We will consider two semi-exact methods for the solution of the free rigid body equations, and we discuss the use of both rotation matrices and quaternions...
