Twist

In Screw Theory, a twist is a Screw carrying motion, which is a screw multiplied by an angular velocity quantity.

If we describe a twist as a dual vector, the result is a angular velocity vector in the real part and a linear velocity vector in the dual part of the twist.

If we describe a twist using Plucker Coordinates, the first three are the angular velocity and last three are the linear velocity.
