  2. Active and passive transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_and_passive...

    Geometric transformations can be distinguished into two types: active or alibi transformations which change the physical position of a set of points relative to a fixed frame of reference or coordinate system (alibi meaning "being somewhere else at the same time"); and passive or alias transformations which leave points fixed but change the ...

  3. List of common coordinate transformations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_coordinate...

    Note: solving for ′ returns the resultant angle in the first quadrant (< <). To find , one must refer to the original Cartesian coordinate, determine the quadrant in which lies (for example, (3,−3) [Cartesian] lies in QIV), then use the following to solve for :

  6. Rotation of axes in two dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_of_axes_in_two...

    For example, to study the equations of ellipses and hyperbolas, the foci are usually located on one of the axes and are situated symmetrically with respect to the origin. If the curve (hyperbola, parabola , ellipse, etc.) is not situated conveniently with respect to the axes, the coordinate system should be changed to place the curve at a ...

  7. Legendre transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legendre_transformation

    The function () is defined on the interval [,].For a given , the difference () takes the maximum at ′.Thus, the Legendre transformation of () is () = ′ (′).. In mathematics, the Legendre transformation (or Legendre transform), first introduced by Adrien-Marie Legendre in 1787 when studying the minimal surface problem, [1] is an involutive transformation on real-valued functions that are ...

  8. Modular group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_group

    The group Γ(N) is given as the set of all modular transformations + + for which a ≡ d ≡ ±1 (mod N) and b ≡ c ≡ 0 (mod N). It is easy to show that the trace of a matrix representing an element of Γ(N) cannot be −1, 0, or 1, so these subgroups are torsion-free groups. (There are other torsion-free subgroups.)

  9. Natural transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_transformation

    Every limit and colimit provides an example for a simple natural transformation, as a cone amounts to a natural transformation with the diagonal functor as domain. Indeed, if limits and colimits are defined directly in terms of their universal property , they are universal morphisms in a functor category.
