  2. Rotation of axes in two dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_of_axes_in_two...

    For example, to study the equations of ellipses and hyperbolas, the foci are usually located on one of the axes and are situated symmetrically with respect to the origin. If the curve (hyperbola, parabola , ellipse, etc.) is not situated conveniently with respect to the axes, the coordinate system should be changed to place the curve at a ...

  3. Horizon chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon_chart

    The horizon chart is a variation of the area chart. Having established a horizontal axis, negative values are mirrored over the horizontal axis, while positive values retain their position. As an alternative approach, rather than reflecting negative values, they can be shifted so that the smaller value aligns with the horizontal axis.

  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. Chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chart

    A chart can represent tabular numeric data, functions or some kinds of quality structure and provides different info. The term "chart" as a graphical representation of data has multiple meanings: A data chart is a type of diagram or graph, that organizes and represents a set of numerical or qualitative data.

  6. Misleading graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misleading_graph

    For example, log scales may give a height of 1 for a value of 10 in the data and a height of 6 for a value of 1,000,000 (10 6) in the data. Log scales and variants are commonly used, for instance, for the volcanic explosivity index, the Richter scale for earthquakes, the magnitude of stars, and the pH of acidic and alkaline solutions.

  7. Yield curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_curve

    The example given in the table at the right is known as a LIBOR curve because it is constructed using either LIBOR rates or swap rates. A LIBOR curve is the most widely used interest rate curve as it represents the credit worth of private entities at about A+ rating, roughly the equivalent of commercial banks.

  8. Rotation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The axis of rotation is a line of its fixed points. They exist only in n = 3. The plane of rotation is a plane that is invariant under the rotation. Unlike the axis, its points are not fixed themselves. The axis (where present) and the plane of a rotation are orthogonal.

  9. Radar chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_chart

    Radar charts can be used in sports to chart players' strengths and weaknesses [10] by calculating various statistics related to the player that can tracked along the central axis of the chart. Examples include a basketball players shots made, rebounds, assists, etc., or the batting or pitching stats of a baseball player.
