2. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

   Rotation matrix. In linear algebra, a rotation matrix is a transformation matrix that is used to perform a rotation in Euclidean space. For example, using the convention below, the matrix. rotates points in the xy plane counterclockwise through an angle θ about the origin of a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system.

3. 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 . A point P has coordinates (x, y) with respect to the ...

4. Rodrigues' rotation formula - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodrigues'_rotation_formula

   Rodrigues' rotation formula. In the theory of three-dimensional rotation, Rodrigues' rotation formula, named after Olinde Rodrigues, is an efficient algorithm for rotating a vector in space, given an axis and angle of rotation. By extension, this can be used to transform all three basis vectors to compute a rotation matrix in SO (3), the group ...

5. Rotation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_(mathematics)

   Rotation (mathematics) Rotation of an object in two dimensions around a point O. Rotation in mathematics is a concept originating in geometry. Any rotation is a motion of a certain space that preserves at least one point. It can describe, for example, the motion of a rigid body around a fixed point. Rotation can have a sign (as in the sign of ...

6. Rotation formalisms in three dimensions - Wikipedia

   Rotate the vector v = (X, Y, Z) around the rotation vector Q = (X, Y, Z). The angle of rotation will be θ = ‖ Q ‖. Calculate the cosine of the angle times the vector to rotate, plus sine of the angle times the axis of rotation, plus one minus cosine of the angle times the dot product of the vector and rotation axis times the axis of rotation.

7. Quaternions and spatial rotation - Wikipedia

   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.
