  2. Orientation (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientation_(geometry)

    Changing orientation of a rigid body is the same as rotating the axes of a reference frame attached to it. In geometry, the orientation, attitude, bearing, direction, or angular position of an object – such as a line, plane or rigid body – is part of the description of how it is placed in the space it occupies. [1]

  3. Orientation (vector space) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientation_(vector_space)

    The orientation of a real vector space or simply orientation of a vector space is the arbitrary choice of which ordered bases are "positively" oriented and which are "negatively" oriented. In the three-dimensional Euclidean space , right-handed bases are typically declared to be positively oriented, but the choice is arbitrary, as they may also ...

  4. Orientability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientability

    A torus is an orientable surface The Möbius strip is a non-orientable surface. Note how the disk flips with every loop. The Roman surface is non-orientable.. In mathematics, orientability is a property of some topological spaces such as real vector spaces, Euclidean spaces, surfaces, and more generally manifolds that allows a consistent definition of "clockwise" and "anticlockwise". [1]

    3D visualization of a sphere and a rotation about an Euler axis (^) by an angle of In 3-dimensional space, according to Euler's rotation theorem, any rotation or sequence of rotations of a rigid body or coordinate system about a fixed point is equivalent to a single rotation by a given angle about a fixed axis (called the Euler axis) that runs through the fixed point. [6]

  6. Orientation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientation

    Orientation (geometry), the direction in which a geometrical object is pointed Orientation (space) , the choice, in a space, between "clockwise" and "counterclockwise" Orientation (vector space) , the specific case of linear algebra

  7. Curve orientation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_orientation

    In mathematics, an orientation of a curve is the choice of one of the two possible directions for travelling on the curve. For example, for Cartesian coordinates , the x -axis is traditionally oriented toward the right, and the y -axis is upward oriented.

    Some snarky online personalities have joked that by this definition, everyone in the U.S. is now female by default. Others noted that the new rule could be interpreted to mean that no one has a ...

  9. Euler angles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_angles

    In texture analysis, the Euler angles provide a mathematical depiction of the orientation of individual crystallites within a polycrystalline material, allowing for the quantitative description of the macroscopic material. [10] The most common definition of the angles is due to Bunge and corresponds to the ZXZ convention. It is important to ...
