  2. Clockwise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clockwise

    The reason for the clockwise standard for most screws and bolts is that supination of the arm, which is used by a right-handed person to tighten a screw clockwise, is generally stronger than pronation used to loosen. Sometimes the opposite (left-handed, counterclockwise, reverse) sense of threading is used for a special reason.

    atan2(y, x) returns the angle θ between the positive x-axis and the ray from the origin to the point (x, y), confined to (−π, π].Graph of ⁡ (,) over /. In computing and mathematics, the function atan2 is the 2-argument arctangent.

  4. Trigonometry of a tetrahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometry_of_a_tetrahedron

    Putting any of the four vertices in the role of O yields four such identities, but at most three of them are independent; if the "clockwise" sides of three of the four identities are multiplied and the product is inferred to be equal to the product of the "counterclockwise" sides of the same three identities, and then common factors are ...

  5. Mnemonics in trigonometry - Wikipedia

    Signs of trigonometric functions in each quadrant. All Students Take Calculus is a mnemonic for the sign of each trigonometric functions in each quadrant of the plane. The letters ASTC signify which of the trigonometric functions are positive, starting in the top right 1st quadrant and moving counterclockwise through quadrants 2 to 4.

    Putting any of the four vertices in the role of O yields four such identities, but at most three of them are independent: If the "clockwise" sides of three of them are multiplied and the product is inferred to be equal to the product of the "counterclockwise" sides of the same three identities, and then common factors are cancelled from both ...

  7. Negative frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_frequency

    The counterclockwise-rotating vector (cos t, sin t) has a positive frequency of +1 radian per unit of time.Not shown is a clockwise-rotating vector (cos (−t), sin (−t)) which has a negative frequency of -1 radian per unit of time.

  8. Goldberg polyhedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldberg_polyhedron

    A clockwise and counterclockwise whirl generator, w w = wrw generates GP(7,0) in class 1. In general, a whirl can transform a GP( a , b ) into GP( a + 3 b ,2 ab ) for a > b and the same chiral direction.

  9. Curve orientation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_orientation

    In the case of a plane simple closed curve (that is, a curve in the plane whose starting point is also the end point and which has no other self-intersections), the curve is said to be positively oriented or counterclockwise oriented, if one always has the curve interior to the left (and consequently, the curve exterior to the right), when ...
