Rotation formalisms are focused on proper (orientation-preserving) motions of the Euclidean space with one fixed point, that a rotation refers to.Although physical motions with a fixed point are an important case (such as ones described in the center-of-mass frame, or motions of a joint), this approach creates a knowledge about all motions.
Pole figure and diffraction figure. Consider the diffraction pattern obtained with a single crystal, on a plane that is perpendicular to the beam, e.g. X-ray diffraction with the Laue method, or electron diffraction in a transmission electron microscope. The diffraction figure shows spots. The position of the spots is determined by the Bragg's ...
In geometry, a position or position vector, also known as location vector or radius vector, is a Euclidean vector that represents a point P in space. Its length represents the distance in relation to an arbitrary reference origin O , and its direction represents the angular orientation with respect to given reference axes.
MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages. Although MATLAB is intended primarily for numeric computing, an optional toolbox uses the MuPAD symbolic engine allowing access to symbolic computing abilities.
Position space (also real space or coordinate space) is the set of all position vectors r in Euclidean space, and has dimensions of length; a position vector defines a point in space. (If the position vector of a point particle varies with time, it will trace out a path, the trajectory of a particle.) Momentum space is the set of all momentum ...
A radial function is a function : [,).When paired with a norm on a vector space ‖ ‖: [,), a function of the form = (‖ ‖) is said to be a radial kernel centered at .A radial function and the associated radial kernels are said to be radial basis functions if, for any finite set of nodes {} =, all of the following conditions are true:
Spatial rotations in three dimensions can be parametrized using both Euler angles and unit quaternions.This article explains how to convert between the two representations. Actually this simple use of "quaternions" was first presented by Euler some seventy years earlier than Hamilton to solve the problem of magic squar
The Euclidean distance is the prototypical example of the distance in a metric space, [10] and obeys all the defining properties of a metric space: [11] It is symmetric, meaning that for all points and , (,) = (,). That is (unlike road distance with one-way streets) the distance between two points does not depend on which of the two points is ...
