The analog of velocity for rotational movement.
For rotation in a plane inside a Cartesian space the angular velocity is a bivector in of the form
where and are unit vector spanning the plane of rotation, and where is the magnitude of the angular velocity.
Of (and only then) can we identify bivectors with plain vectors (by the dual operation induced by the Hodge star operator). Often in the literature only this “angular velocity vector” in 3 dimensions is considered.
Standard discussion of angular velocity in is for instance in
The more general discussion in terms of bivectors is found for instance in Geometric Algebra-style documents, such as
