  2. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    For example, in 2-space n = 2, a rotation by angle θ has eigenvalues λ = e iθ and λ = e −iθ, so there is no axis of rotation except when θ = 0, the case of the null rotation. In 3-space n = 3 , the axis of a non-null proper rotation is always a unique line, and a rotation around this axis by angle θ has eigenvalues λ = 1, e iθ , e ...

    An xy-Cartesian coordinate system rotated through an angle to an x′y′-Cartesian coordinate system 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 ...

    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 ...

    where is the k-th 3-vector measurement in the reference frame, is the corresponding k-th 3-vector measurement in the body frame and is a 3 by 3 rotation matrix between the coordinate frames. [ 1 ] a k {\displaystyle a_{k}} is an optional set of weights for each observation.

  6. List of planar symmetry groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_planar_symmetry_groups

    The 17 wallpaper groups, with finite fundamental domains, are given by International notation, orbifold notation, and Coxeter notation, classified by the 5 Bravais lattices in the plane: square, oblique (parallelogrammatic), hexagonal (equilateral triangular), rectangular (centered rhombic), and rhombic (centered rectangular).

  7. Rodrigues' rotation formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodrigues'_rotation_formula

    In the theory of three-dimensional rotation, Rodrigues' rotation formula, named after Olinde Rodrigues, is an efficient algorithm for rotating a vector in space, given an axis and angle of rotation. By extension, this can be used to transform all three basis vectors to compute a rotation matrix in SO(3) , the group of all rotation matrices ...

    Tait–Bryan angles. z-y′-x″ sequence (intrinsic rotations; N coincides with y’). The angle rotation sequence is ψ, θ, φ. Note that in this case ψ > 90° and θ is a negative angle. Similarly for Euler angles, we use the Tait Bryan angles (in terms of flight dynamics): Heading – : rotation about the Z-axis

  9. Euclidean plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_plane

    A prototypical example is one of a room's walls, infinitely extended and assumed infinitesimal thin. While a pair of real numbers R 2 {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{2}} suffices to describe points on a plane, the relationship with out-of-plane points requires special consideration for their embedding in the ambient space R 3 {\displaystyle ...
