Euler's equations in the context of rigid body dynamics describe the rotation of a rigid body about a fixed point. When dealing with the motion of a rigid body, it's often useful to consider it as a system of particles and apply Newtonian mechanics. However, for rotating bodies, Euler's equations provide a more efficient approach.
