Rotation is an often overlooked factor in stellar evolution. Understanding the evolution of rotation is pertinent to improving our understanding of the role that rotating stellar evolution plays in the evolution of the universe around us. Further, understanding the effects of rotation on observable stellar parameters is required to measure said parameters precisely. In this thesis, I discuss three current problems in our understanding of the evolution and effects of rotation in low-mass stars and propose novel approaches to rectify and further constrain the possible underlying physical mechanisms underlying these problems.
