  2. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    the polar angle θ between this radial line and a given polar axis; [a] and; the azimuthal angle φ, which is the angle of rotation of the radial line around the polar axis. [b] (See graphic regarding the "physics convention".)

  3. Vector fields in cylindrical and spherical coordinates

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_fields_in...

    Note: This page uses common physics notation for spherical coordinates, in which is the angle between the z axis and the radius vector connecting the origin to the point in question, while is the angle between the projection of the radius vector onto the x-y plane and the x axis. Several other definitions are in use, and so care must be taken ...

    theta functions; the angle of a scattered photon during a Compton scattering interaction; the angular displacement of a particle rotating about an axis; the Watterson estimator in population genetics; the thermal resistance between two bodies; ϑ ("script theta"), the cursive form of theta, often used in handwriting, represents

  5. Vector notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_notation

    The angle, typically represented as θ (the Greek letter theta), is the angle, usually measured counter­clockwise, between a fixed direction, typically that of the positive x-axis, and the direction from the origin to the point.

  6. Euler angles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_angles

    The only difference is that Tait–Bryan angles represent rotations about three distinct axes (e.g. x-y-z, or x-y′-z″), while proper Euler angles use the same axis for both the first and third elemental rotations (e.g., z-x-z, or z-x′-z″). This implies a different definition for the line of nodes in the geometrical construction.

  7. Phi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phi

    Phi (/ f aɪ /; [1] uppercase Φ, lowercase φ or ϕ; Ancient Greek: ϕεῖ pheî; Modern Greek: φι fi) is the twenty-first letter of the Greek alphabet. In Archaic and Classical Greek (c. 9th to 4th century BC), it represented an aspirated voiceless bilabial plosive ( [pʰ] ), which was the origin of its usual romanization as ph .
