2. 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 . A point P has coordinates ( x, y) with respect to the ...

3. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

   Rotation matrix. In linear algebra, a rotation matrix is a transformation matrix that is used to perform a rotation in Euclidean space. For example, using the convention below, the matrix. rotates points in the xy plane counterclockwise through an angle θ about the origin of a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system.

4. 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. [6]

5. Right-hand rule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-hand_rule

   When viewed at a position along the positive z-axis, the ¼ turn from the positive x-to the positive y-axis is counter-clockwise. For left-handed coordinates, the above description of the axes is the same, except using the left hand; and the ¼ turn is clockwise. Interchanging the labels of any two axes reverses the handedness. Reversing the ...

6. Rotations and reflections in two dimensions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotations_and_reflections...

   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.

7. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

   To plot any dot from its spherical coordinates (r, θ, φ), where θ is inclination, the user would: move r units from the origin in the zenith reference direction (z-axis); then rotate by the amount of the azimuth angle (φ) about the origin from the designated azimuth reference direction, (i.e., either the x– or y–axis, see Definition ...

8. Web Mercator projection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Mercator_projection

   Web Mercator, Google Web Mercator, Spherical Mercator, WGS 84 Web Mercator [1] or WGS 84/Pseudo-Mercator is a variant of the Mercator map projection and is the de facto standard for Web mapping applications. It rose to prominence when Google Maps adopted it in 2005. [2] It is used by virtually all major online map providers, including Google ...

9. Rotation formalisms in three dimensions - Wikipedia

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

   For broader coverage of this topic, see Rotation group SO (3). In geometry, various formalisms exist to express a rotation in three dimensions as a mathematical transformation. In physics, this concept is applied to classical mechanics where rotational (or angular) kinematics is the science of quantitative description of a purely rotational ...
