2. Solid of revolution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_of_revolution

   Two common methods for finding the volume of a solid of revolution are the disc method and the shell method of integration.To apply these methods, it is easiest to draw the graph in question; identify the area that is to be revolved about the axis of revolution; determine the volume of either a disc-shaped slice of the solid, with thickness δx, or a cylindrical shell of width δx; and then ...

3. Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space - Wikipedia

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

   The conjugate of that eigenvalue is also unity, yielding a pair of eigenvectors which define a fixed plane, and so the rotation is simple. In quaternion notation, a proper (i.e., non-inverting) rotation in SO(4) is a proper simple rotation if and only if the real parts of the unit quaternions Q L and Q R are equal in magnitude and have the same ...

4. Torus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torus

   Poloidal direction (red arrow) and toroidal direction (blue arrow) A torus of revolution in 3-space can be parametrized as: [2] (,) = (+ ⁡) ⁡ (,) = (+ ⁡) ⁡ (,) = ⁡ using angular coordinates θ, φ ∈ [0, 2π), representing rotation around the tube and rotation around the torus's axis of revolution, respectively, where the major radius R is the distance from the center of the tube to ...

5. Rotation formalisms in three dimensions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_formalisms_in...

   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.

6. Orientation (geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientation_(geometry)

   Changing orientation of a rigid body is the same as rotating the axes of a reference frame attached to it.. In geometry, the orientation, attitude, bearing, direction, or angular position of an object – such as a line, plane or rigid body – is part of the description of how it is placed in the space it occupies.

7. Rotational symmetry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_symmetry

   Therefore, the number of 2-, 3-, 4-, and 6-fold rotocenters per primitive cell is 4, 3, 2, and 1, respectively, again including 4-fold as a special case of 2-fold, etc. 3-fold rotational symmetry at one point and 2-fold at another one (or ditto in 3D with respect to parallel axes) implies rotation group p6, i.e. double translational symmetry ...
