  2. Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotations_in_4-dimensional...

    The 5D rotation group SO(5) and all higher rotation groups contain subgroups isomorphic to O(4). Like SO(4), all even-dimensional rotation groups contain isoclinic rotations. But unlike SO(4), in SO(6) and all higher even-dimensional rotation groups any two isoclinic rotations through the same angle are conjugate.

  3. Point groups in four dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Point_groups_in_four_dimensions

    In geometry, a point group in four dimensions is an isometry group in four dimensions that leaves the origin fixed, or correspondingly, an isometry group of a 3-sphere. History on four-dimensional groups

  4. Plane of rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_of_rotation

    In geometry, a plane of rotation is an abstract object used to describe or visualize rotations in space.. The main use for planes of rotation is in describing more complex rotations in four-dimensional space and higher dimensions, where they can be used to break down the rotations into simpler parts.

  5. Rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation

    As dimensions increase the number of rotation vectors increases. Along a four dimensional space (a hypervolume), rotations occur along x, y, z, and w axis. An object rotated on a w axis intersects through various volumes, where each intersection is equal to a self contained volume at an angle. This gives way to a new axis of rotation in a 4d ...

  6. Anatomical terms of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_motion

    Motion, the process of movement, is described using specific anatomical terms.Motion includes movement of organs, joints, limbs, and specific sections of the body.The terminology used describes this motion according to its direction relative to the anatomical position of the body parts involved.

  7. Four-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-dimensional_space

    Four-dimensional space (4D) is the mathematical extension of the concept of three-dimensional space (3D). Three-dimensional space is the simplest possible abstraction of the observation that one needs only three numbers, called dimensions, to describe the sizes or locations of objects in the everyday world.

  8. Rotation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A perspective projection onto three-dimensions of a tesseract being rotated in four-dimensional Euclidean space. A general rotation in four dimensions has only one fixed point, the centre of rotation, and no axis of rotation; see rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space for details. Instead the rotation has two mutually orthogonal planes of ...

  9. Anatomical terminology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terminology

    Anatomy is often described in planes, referring to two-dimensional sections of the body. A section is a two-dimensional surface of a three-dimensional structure that has been cut. A plane is an imaginary two-dimensional surface that passes through the body. Three planes are commonly referred to in anatomy and medicine: [1] [2]: 4
