2. Rotation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_(mathematics)

   Rotation of an object in two dimensions around a point O. Rotation in mathematics is a concept originating in geometry. Any rotation is a motion of a certain space that preserves at least one point. It can describe, for example, the motion of a rigid body around a fixed point.

3. 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 .

4. Rotation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation

   A sphere rotating (spinning) about an axis. Rotation or rotational motion is the circular movement of an object around a central line, known as an axis of rotation.A plane figure can rotate in either a clockwise or counterclockwise sense around a perpendicular axis intersecting anywhere inside or outside the figure at a center of rotation.

5. 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 ...

6. Orientation (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

   The rotations were described by orthogonal matrices referred to as rotation matrices or direction cosine matrices. When used to represent an orientation, a rotation matrix is commonly called orientation matrix, or attitude matrix. The above-mentioned Euler vector is the eigenvector of a rotation matrix (a rotation matrix has a unique real ...

7. Rotation formalisms in three dimensions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_formalisms_in...

   Rotation formalisms are focused on proper (orientation-preserving) motions of the Euclidean space with one fixed point, that a rotation refers to.Although physical motions with a fixed point are an important case (such as ones described in the center-of-mass frame, or motions of a joint), this approach creates a knowledge about all motions.

   Elon Musk said Starlink satellite internet is inactive in India, his first comments since authorities seized two of the company's devices in recent weeks, one in an armed conflict zone and another ...

9. Quaternions and spatial rotation - Wikipedia

   3D visualization of a sphere and a rotation about an Euler axis (^) by an angle of In 3-dimensional space, according to Euler's rotation theorem, any rotation or sequence of rotations of a rigid body or coordinate system about a fixed point is equivalent to a single rotation by a given angle about a fixed axis (called the Euler axis) that runs through the fixed point.
