  2. Volleyball offensive systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volleyball_Offensive_Systems

    A 5-1 takes its name from using 1 setter and having 5 attackers on the court. The secondary setter is replaced by an opposite hitter who is always opposite the setter on the court. This formation allows the setter to be able to dump the ball for half the rotations and have 3 front row attackers to set the ball to on the other three rotations.

  3. 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.

  4. Rotation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_system

    Rotation systems are related to, but not the same as, the rotation maps used by Reingold et al. (2002) to define the zig-zag product of graphs. A rotation system specifies a circular ordering of the edges around each vertex, while a rotation map specifies a (non-circular) permutation of the edges at each vertex.

  5. 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 .

  6. 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.

  7. Active and passive transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_and_passive...

    A rotation of the vector through an angle θ in counterclockwise direction is given by the rotation matrix: = (⁡ ⁡ ⁡ ⁡), which can be viewed either as an active transformation or a passive transformation (where the above matrix will be inverted), as described below.

  8. Motion (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    In geometry, a motion is an isometry of a metric space. For instance, a plane equipped with the Euclidean distance metric is a metric space in which a mapping associating congruent figures is a motion. [1] More generally, the term motion is a synonym for surjective isometry in metric geometry, [2] including elliptic geometry and hyperbolic ...

  9. Spherical law of cosines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_law_of_cosines

    The quaternions q, r, and s are used to represent rotations with axes of rotation w′, u′, and v′, respectively, and angles of rotation 2a, 2b, and 2c, respectively. Because these are double angles, each of q, r, and s represents two applications of the rotation implied by an edge of the spherical triangle. From the definitions, it follows ...
