Rotation of axes : ウィキペディア英語版 | Rotation of axes
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 original system and coordinates (''x''', ''y''') with respect to the new system. 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. A rotation of axes is a linear map and a rigid transformation. == Motivation == When we want to study the equations of curves and when we wish to use the methods of analytic geometry, coordinate systems become essential. When we use the method of coordinate geometry we place the axes at a position "convenient" with respect to the curve under consideration. For example, when we 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. But now suppose that we have a problem in which the curve (hyperbola, parabola, ellipse, etc.) is ''not'' situated so conveniently with respect to the axes. We would then like to change the coordinate system in order to have the curve at a convenient and familiar location and orientation. The process of making this change is called a transformation of coordinates. The solutions to many problems can be simplified by rotating the coordinate axes to obtain new axes through the same origin.
