  2. Rotation of axes in two dimensions - Wikipedia

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

    A point P has coordinates (x, y) with respect to the original system and coordinates (x′, y′) with respect to the new system. [1] In the new coordinate system, the point P will appear to have been rotated in the opposite direction, that is, clockwise through the angle . A rotation of axes in more than two dimensions is defined similarly.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime_diagram

    The x, y, z axes of frame S are oriented parallel to the respective primed axes of frame S′. The origins of frames S and S′ coincide at time t = 0 in frame S and also at t′ = 0 in frame S′. [2]: 107 Frame S′ moves in the x-direction of frame S with velocity v as measured in frame S.

  4. Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

    The standard orientation, where the xy-plane is horizontal and the z-axis points up (and the x- and the y-axis form a positively oriented two-dimensional coordinate system in the xy-plane if observed from above the xy-plane) is called right-handed or positive. 3D Cartesian coordinate handedness. The name derives from the right-hand rule.

  5. Graph theory - Wikipedia

    A drawing of a graph with 6 vertices and 7 edges.. In mathematics and computer science, graph theory is the study of graphs, which are mathematical structures used to model pairwise relations between objects.

  6. Coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_system

    A point in the plane may be represented in homogeneous coordinates by a triple (x, y, z) where x/z and y/z are the Cartesian coordinates of the point. [10] This introduces an "extra" coordinate since only two are needed to specify a point on the plane, but this system is useful in that it represents any point on the projective plane without the ...

  7. Translation (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_(geometry)

    Starting from the graph of f, a horizontal translation means composing f with a function ⁠ ⁠, for some constant number a, resulting in a graph consisting of points ⁠ (, ()) ⁠. Each point ⁠ ( x , y ) {\displaystyle (x,y)} ⁠ of the original graph corresponds to the point ⁠ ( x + a , y ) {\displaystyle (x+a,y)} ⁠ in the new graph ...

  8. Translation of axes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_of_axes

    For an xyz-Cartesian coordinate system in three dimensions, suppose that a second Cartesian coordinate system is introduced, with axes x', y' and z' so located that the x' axis is parallel to the x axis and h units from it, the y' axis is parallel to the y axis and k units from it, and the z' axis is parallel to the z axis and l units from it.

  9. Plot (graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plot_(graphics)

    showing on a horizontal axis and on a vertical axis, where is a phase space trajectory. Scatterplot : A scatter graph or scatter plot is a type of display using variables for a set of data. The data is displayed as a collection of points, each having the value of one variable determining the position on the horizontal axis and the value of the ...
