Once the radius is fixed, the three coordinates (r, θ, φ), known as a 3-tuple, provide a coordinate system on a sphere, typically called the spherical polar coordinates. The plane passing through the origin and perpendicular to the polar axis (where the polar angle is a right angle ) is called the reference plane (sometimes fundamental plane ).
It is denoted by a double prime ( ″ ). For example, 3° 7′ 30″ is equal to 3 + 7 / 60 + 30 / 3600 degrees, or 3.125 degrees. The arcsecond is the angle used to measure a parsec: grad: 400: 0°54′ The grad, also called grade, gradian, or gon. It is a decimal subunit of the quadrant. A right angle is 100 grads.
Find Q minimizing Tr( (Q − M) T (Q − M) ), subject to Q T Q = I. Though written in matrix terms, the objective function is just a quadratic polynomial. We can minimize it in the usual way, by finding where its derivative is zero. For a 3 × 3 matrix, the orthogonality constraint implies six scalar equalities that the entries of Q must satisfy.
For example, the sine of angle θ is defined as being the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the hypotenuse. The six trigonometric functions are defined for every real number , except, for some of them, for angles that differ from 0 by a multiple of the right angle (90°).

[1] [2] [3] Contour integration is closely related to the calculus of residues, [4] a method of complex analysis. One use for contour integrals is the evaluation of integrals along the real line that are not readily found by using only real variable methods. [5] Contour integration methods include:
A sinkhole that formed on the eastbound side of I-80 near Wharton, New Jersey caused traffic snarls on the busy highway, about 40 miles west of New York City. Westbound lanes were unaffected.
