  2. 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 .

  3. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    Use one of the fundamental rotation matrices to rotate the point depending on the coordinate axis with which the rotation axis is aligned. Reverse rotate the axis-point pair such that it attains the final configuration as that was in step 2 (Undoing step 2) Reverse rotate the axis-point pair which was done in step 1 (undoing step 1)

  4. Elliptical distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptical_distribution

    In the 2-dimensional case, if the density exists, each iso-density locus (the set of x 1,x 2 pairs all giving a particular value of ()) is an ellipse or a union of ellipses (hence the name elliptical distribution).

  5. Rotating calipers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_calipers

    Sequence of probes around the convex hull of a polygon to determine its diameter using Rotating Caliper method. In computational geometry, the method of rotating calipers is an algorithm design technique that can be used to solve optimization problems including finding the width or diameter of a set of points.

  6. Rytz's construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rytz's_construction

    The Rytz’s axis construction is a basic method of descriptive geometry to find the axes, the semi-major axis and semi-minor axis and the vertices of an ellipse, starting from two conjugated half-diameters. If the center and the semi axis of an ellipse are determined the ellipse can be drawn using an ellipsograph or by hand (see ellipse).

  7. Elliptical polarization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptical_polarization

    When increases from zero, i.e., assumes positive values, the line evolves into an ellipse that is being traced out in the counterclockwise direction (looking in the direction of the propagating wave); this then corresponds to left-handed elliptical polarization; the semi-major axis is now oriented at an angle .

  8. Donald Trump mocked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over his top minister’s surprise resignation — after the pair clashed on how to handle the president-elect’s looming tariffs.

  9. 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 ...
