  2. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    A 180° rotation (middle) followed by a positive 90° rotation (left) is equivalent to a single negative 90° (positive 270°) rotation (right). Each of these figures depicts the result of a rotation relative to an upright starting position (bottom left) and includes the matrix representation of the permutation applied by the rotation (center ...

  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 .

  4. Optical rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_rotation

    So we find that the degree of rotation depends on the color of the light (the yellow sodium D line near 589 nm wavelength is commonly used for measurements), and is directly proportional to the path length through the substance and the amount of circular birefringence of the material which, for a solution, may be computed from the substance's ...

  5. Transformation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_matrix

    For example, the counter-clockwise rotation matrix from above becomes: [⁡ ⁡ ⁡ ⁡] Using transformation matrices containing homogeneous coordinates, translations become linear, and thus can be seamlessly intermixed with all other types of transformations.

  7. Complex geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_geometry

    Features of the complex plane and complex analysis of a single variable, such as an intrinsic notion of orientability (that is, being able to consistently rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise at every point in the complex plane), and the rigidity of holomorphic functions (that is, the existence of a single complex derivative implies complex ...

  8. Turn (angle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn_(angle)

    The binary degree, also known as the binary radian (or brad), is ⁠ 1 / 256 ⁠ turn. [21] The binary degree is used in computing so that an angle can be represented to the maximum possible precision in a single byte. Other measures of angle used in computing may be based on dividing one whole turn into 2 n equal parts for other values of n. [22]

  9. Incremental encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental_encoder

    When moving at constant velocity, an ideal incremental encoder would output perfect square waves on A and B (i.e., the pulses would be exactly 180° wide and the duty cycle would be 50%) with a phase difference of exactly 90° between A and B signals. In real encoders, however, due to sensor imperfections and speed variations, the pulse widths ...
