  2. Rotation formalisms in three dimensions - Wikipedia

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

    The Rodrigues vector (sometimes called the Gibbs vector, with coordinates called Rodrigues parameters) [3] [4] can be expressed in terms of the axis and angle of the rotation as follows: = ^ ⁡ This representation is a higher-dimensional analog of the gnomonic projection , mapping unit quaternions from a 3-sphere onto the 3-dimensional pure ...

  3. Kaluza–Klein theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaluza–Klein_theory

    In physics, Kaluza–Klein theory (KK theory) is a classical unified field theory of gravitation and electromagnetism built around the idea of a fifth dimension beyond the common 4D of space and time and considered an important precursor to string theory.

  4. Normal form (abstract rewriting) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_form_(abstract...

    A rewriting system is strongly normalizing, terminating, noetherian, or has the (strong) normalization property (SN), if each of its objects is strongly normalizing. [ 2 ] A rewriting system has the normal form property (NF) if for all objects a and normal forms b , b can be reached from a by a series of rewrites and inverse rewrites only if a ...

  5. Normalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalization

    Dimensional normalization, or snowflaking, removal of redundant attributes in a dimensional model; NFD normalization (normalization form canonical decomposition), a normalization form decomposition for Unicode string searches and comparisons in text processing; Spatial normalization, a step in image processing for neuroimaging

  6. Axis–angle representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis–angle_representation

    The angle θ and axis unit vector e define a rotation, concisely represented by the rotation vector θe.. In mathematics, the axis–angle representation parameterizes a rotation in a three-dimensional Euclidean space by two quantities: a unit vector e indicating the direction of an axis of rotation, and an angle of rotation θ describing the magnitude and sense (e.g., clockwise) of the ...

  7. Canonicalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonicalization

    This makes string comparison more complicated, since every possible representation of a string containing such glyphs must be considered. To deal with this, Unicode provides the mechanism of canonical equivalence. In this context, canonicalization is Unicode normalization.

  8. Homogeneous coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogeneous_coordinates

    Homogeneous coordinates are ubiquitous in computer graphics because they allow common vector operations such as translation, rotation, scaling and perspective projection to be represented as a matrix by which the vector is multiplied. By the chain rule, any sequence of such operations can be multiplied out into a single matrix, allowing simple ...

  9. Isomorphism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomorphism

    In a concrete category (roughly, a category whose objects are sets (perhaps with extra structure) and whose morphisms are structure-preserving functions), such as the category of topological spaces or categories of algebraic objects (like the category of groups, the category of rings, and the category of modules), an isomorphism must be ...
