►The classical rotation of rigid bodies in free space or about a fixed point may be described in terms of elliptic, or hyperelliptic, functions if the motion is integrable (Audin (1999, Chapter 1)).
…Elementary discussions of this topic appear in Lawden (1989, §5.7), Greenhill (1959, pp. 101–103), and Whittaker (1964, Chapter VI).

►Taking
in (2.11.2), the first three terms give us the approximation
…The error term is, in fact, approximately 700 times the last term obtained in (2.11.4).
…
►These answers are linked to the terms involving the complementary error function in the more powerful expansions typified by the combination of (2.11.10) and (2.11.15).
…
►However, to enjoy the resurgence property (§2.7(ii)) we often seek instead expansions in terms of the -functions introduced in §2.11(iii), leaving the connection of the error-function type behavior as an implicit consequence of this property of the -functions.
…
►Subtraction of this result from the sum of the first 5 terms in (2.11.25) yields 0.
