  2. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    The direction of vector rotation is counterclockwise if θ is positive (e.g. 90°), and clockwise if θ is negative (e.g. −90°) for ().Thus the clockwise rotation matrix is found as

  3. Optical rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_rotation

    Dextrorotation and laevorotation (also spelled levorotation) [1] [2] in chemistry and physics are the optical rotation of plane-polarized light.From the point of view of the observer, dextrorotation refers to clockwise or right-handed rotation, and laevorotation refers to counterclockwise or left-handed rotation.

  4. Curve orientation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_orientation

    In the case of a plane simple closed curve (that is, a curve in the plane whose starting point is also the end point and which has no other self-intersections), the curve is said to be positively oriented or counterclockwise oriented, if one always has the curve interior to the left (and consequently, the curve exterior to the right), when ...

    Counterclockwise rotation by 90 degrees [ edit ] By switching the negative time and frequency to frequency and time would act like rotating 90 degrees counterclockwise.

  6. Rotation of axes in two dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_of_axes_in_two...

    In mathematics, a rotation of axes in two dimensions is a mapping from an xy-Cartesian coordinate system to an x′y′-Cartesian coordinate system in which the origin is kept fixed and the x′ and y′ axes are obtained by rotating the x and y axes counterclockwise through an angle .

  7. Clockwise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clockwise

    The opposite sense of rotation or revolution is (in Commonwealth English) anticlockwise (ACW) or (in North American English) counterclockwise (CCW). [1] Three-dimensional rotation can have similarly defined senses when considering the corresponding angular velocity vector .

  8. Transformation of text - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_of_text

    Turned characters, those that have been rotated 180 degrees and thus appear upside-down (this is the most common); Sideways characters, those that have been rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise (generally the least supported, and used only for a handful of vowels in the Uralic Phonetic Alphabet system).
