2. Rotation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   The rotation group is a Lie group of rotations about a fixed point. This (common) fixed point or center is called the center of rotation and is usually identified with the origin. The rotation group is a point stabilizer in a broader group of (orientation-preserving) motions. For a particular rotation: The axis of rotation is a line of its ...

3. Rotor (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   In mathematics, a rotor in the geometric algebra of a vector space V is the same thing as an element of the spin group Spin(V).We define this group below. Let V be a vector space equipped with a positive definite quadratic form q, and let Cl(V) be the geometric algebra associated to V.

4. 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 .

5. Curl (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   The curl of the vector field at any point is given by the rotation of an infinitesimal area in the xy-plane (for z-axis component of the curl), zx-plane (for y-axis component of the curl) and yz-plane (for x-axis component of the curl vector). This can be seen in the examples below.

6. Rotation number - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_number

   The rotation number of f is a rational number p/q (in the lowest terms). Then f has a periodic orbit , every periodic orbit has period q , and the order of the points on each such orbit coincides with the order of the points for a rotation by p/q .

7. Orientation (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

   For example, the orientation in space of a line, line segment, or vector can be specified with only two values, for example two direction cosines. Another example is the position of a point on the Earth, often described using the orientation of a line joining it with the Earth's center, measured using the two angles of longitude and latitude .

   A celebration of life and high school scholarship have been planned to honor young actor Hudson Meek, known for his role in 2017's "Baby Driver."The 16-year-old died near his home in Alabama after ...

9. Quaternions and spatial rotation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternions_and_spatial...

   A rotation can be represented by a unit-length quaternion q = (w, r →) with scalar (real) part w and vector (imaginary) part r →. The rotation can be applied to a 3D vector v → via the formula = + (+). This requires only 15 multiplications and 15 additions to evaluate (or 18 multiplications and 12 additions if the factor of 2 is done via ...
