$ R_{323}(\phi, \theta, \psi) = R_3(\psi) R_2(\theta) R_3(\phi) $ \\


The rotation matrices are

\begin{equation}
R_3(\psi) =
\left[ \begin{array}{ccc}
c_{\psi} &amp; s_{\psi} &amp; 0 \\
-s_{\psi} &amp; c_{\psi} &amp; 0 \\
0 &amp; 0 &amp; 1 \end{array} \right]
\end{equation}

\begin{equation}
R_2(\theta) =
\left[ \begin{array}{ccc}
c_{\theta} &amp; 0 &amp; -s_{\theta} \\
0 &amp; 1 &amp; 0 \\
s_{\theta} &amp; 0 &amp; c_{\theta} \end{array} \right]
\end{equation}

\begin{equation}
R_3(\phi) =
\left[ \begin{array}{ccc}
c_{\phi} &amp; s_{\phi} &amp; 0 \\
-s_{\phi} &amp; c_{\phi} &amp; 0 \\
0 &amp; 0 &amp; 1 \end{array} \right]
\end{equation}


Carrying out the matrix multiplication from right to left \\


$
R_2(\theta)R_3(\phi) =
\left[ \begin{array}{ccc}
c_{\theta} &amp; 0 &amp; -s_{\theta} \\
0 &amp; 1 &amp; 0 \\
s_{\theta} &amp; 0 &amp; c_{\theta} \end{array} \right] \left[ \begin{array}{ccc}
c_{\phi} &amp; s_{\phi} &amp; 0 \\
-s_{\phi} &amp; c_{\phi} &amp; 0 \\
0 &amp; 0 &amp; 1 \end{array} \right] = \left[ \begin{array}{ccc}
c_{\theta} c_{\phi} &amp; c_{\theta} s_{\phi} &amp; s_{\theta} \\
-s_{\phi} &amp; c_{\phi} &amp; 0 \\
-s_{\theta} c_{\phi} &amp; -s_{\theta} s_{\phi} &amp; c_{\theta} \end{array} \right] $ \\

Finaly leaving us with the Euler 323 sequence \\

$
R_3(\psi)R_2(\theta)R_3(\phi) = \left[ \begin{array}{ccc}
c_{\psi} c_{\theta} c_{\phi} - s_{\psi} s_{\phi} &amp; c_{\psi} c_{\theta} s_{\phi} + s_{\psi} c_{\phi} &amp; c_{\psi} \\
