  2. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    The same point P can be represented either by a column vector v or a row vector w. Rotation matrices can either pre-multiply column vectors (Rv), or post-multiply row vectors (wR). However, Rv produces a rotation in the opposite direction with respect to wR. Throughout this article, rotations produced on column vectors are described by means of ...

    They can also be derived by using a slightly modified version of the figure for the angle sum identities, both of which are shown here. These identities are summarized in the first two rows of the following table, which also includes sum and difference identities for the other trigonometric functions.

  4. Conversion between quaternions and Euler angles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_between...

    Spatial rotations in three dimensions can be parametrized using both Euler angles and unit quaternions.This article explains how to convert between the two representations. Actually this simple use of "quaternions" was first presented by Euler some seventy years earlier than Hamilton to solve the problem of magic squar

  5. Small-angle approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-angle_approximation

    Angles measured in degrees must first be converted to radians by multiplying them by ⁠ / ⁠. These approximations have a wide range of uses in branches of physics and engineering, including mechanics, electromagnetism, optics, cartography, astronomy, and computer science.

    Then multiplying the numerator and denominator inside the square root by (1 + cos θ) and using Pythagorean identities leads to: ⁡ = ⁡ + ⁡. Also, if the numerator and denominator are both multiplied by (1 - cos θ), the result is:

  7. Exact trigonometric values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_trigonometric_values

    In mathematics, the values of the trigonometric functions can be expressed approximately, as in ⁡ (/), or exactly, as in ⁡ (/) = /.While trigonometric tables contain many approximate values, the exact values for certain angles can be expressed by a combination of arithmetic operations and square roots.

  8. Slide rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule

    For angles greater than 45 degrees the CI scale is used. Common forms such as ⁡ can be read directly from x on the S scale to the result on the D scale, when the C scale index is set at k. For angles below 5.7 degrees, sines, tangents, and radians are approximately equal, and are found on the ST or SRT (sines, radians, and tangents) scale, or ...

  9. 45 (number) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/45_(number)

    45 is an odd number and a Størmer number, as well as the 9th triangular number [1] and 5th hexagonal number. [ 2 ] 45 degrees is half of a right angle. It is also the smallest positive number that can be expressed as the difference of two nonzero squares in more than two ways: 7 2 − 2 2 {\displaystyle 7^{2}-2^{2}} , 9 2 − 6 2 ...
