  2. Argument (complex analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_(complex_analysis)

    Figure 1. This Argand diagram represents the complex number lying on a plane.For each point on the plane, arg is the function which returns the angle . In mathematics (particularly in complex analysis), the argument of a complex number z, denoted arg(z), is the angle between the positive real axis and the line joining the origin and z, represented as a point in the complex plane, shown as in ...

    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).

  4. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    where for every direction in the base space, S n, the fiber over it in the total space, SO(n + 1), is a copy of the fiber space, SO(n), namely the rotations that keep that direction fixed. Thus we can build an n × n rotation matrix by starting with a 2 × 2 matrix, aiming its fixed axis on S 2 (the ordinary sphere in three-dimensional space ...

  5. 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 .

  6. Quaternions and spatial rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternions_and_spatial...

    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]

  7. Unit vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_vector

    To minimize redundancy of representations, the polar angle is usually taken to lie between zero and 180 degrees. It is especially important to note the context of any ordered triplet written in spherical coordinates , as the roles of φ ^ {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\hat {\varphi }}}} and θ ^ {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\hat {\theta }}}} are ...

  8. Orientation entanglement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientation_entanglement

    A single point in space can spin continuously without becoming tangled. Notice that after a 360 degree rotation, the spiral flips between clockwise and counterclockwise orientations. It returns to its original configuration after spinning a full 720 degrees.

  9. Ambigram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambigram

    Animation of a half-turn ambigram of the word ambigram, with 180-degree rotational symmetry [1]. An ambigram is a calligraphic composition of glyphs (letters, numbers, symbols or other shapes) that can yield different meanings depending on the orientation of observation.
