  2. atan2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atan2

    The two figures below show 3D views of respectively atan2(y, x) and arctan(⁠ y / x ⁠) over a region of the plane. Note that for atan2(y, x), rays in the X/Y-plane emanating from the origin have constant values, but for arctan(⁠ y / x ⁠) lines in the X/Y-plane passing through the origin have constant

  3. Proofs of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proofs_of_trigonometric...

    This geometric argument relies on definitions of arc length and area, which act as assumptions, so it is rather a condition imposed in construction of trigonometric functions than a provable property. [2] For the sine function, we can handle other values. If θ > π /2, then θ > 1. But sin θ ≤ 1 (because of the Pythagorean identity), so sin ...

    This screenshot shows the formula E = mc 2 being edited using VisualEditor.The window is opened by typing "<math>" in VisualEditor. The visual editor shows a button that allows to choose one of three offered modes to display a formula.

  5. Nose cone design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_cone_design

    The power series nose shape is generated by rotating the y = R(x/L) n curve about the x-axis for values of n less than 1. The factor n controls the bluntness of the shape. For values of n above about 0.7, the tip is fairly sharp. As n decreases towards zero, the power series nose shape becomes increasingly blunt.

  6. Subtended angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtended_angle

    In geometry, an angle subtended (from Latin for "stretched under") by a line segment at an arbitrary vertex is formed by the two rays between the vertex and each endpoint of the segment.

  7. Complex number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_number

    Because the real and imaginary part of 5 + 5i are equal, the argument of that number is 45 degrees, or π/4 (in radian). On the other hand, it is also the sum of the angles at the origin of the red and blue triangles are arctan(1/3) and arctan(1/2), respectively.

    2.5° by 2.5° Westerhout 5: 2.3° by 1.25° Sh2-54: 2.3° Carina Nebula: 2° by 2° Note: brightest nebula in the night sky, 1.0 apparent magnitude (V) North America Nebula: 2° by 100 ′ Earth in the Moon's sky: 2° - 1°48 ′ [12] Appearing about three to four times larger than the Moon in Earth's sky The Sun in the sky of Mercury: 1.15 ...

  9. Angle of view (photography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_view_(photography)

    So a standard 50 mm lens for 35 mm photography acts like a 50 mm standard "film" lens even on a professional digital SLR, but would act closer to a 75 mm (1.5×50 mm Nikon) or 80 mm lens (1.6×50mm Canon) on many mid-market DSLRs, and the 40-degree angle of view of a standard 50 mm lens on a film camera is equivalent to a 28–35 mm lens on ...
