Rotation number

In mathematics, the rotation number is an invariant of homeomorphisms of the circle. (Wikipedia).

Determining clockwise vs counter clockwise rotations

👉 Learn how to rotate a figure and different points about a fixed point. Most often that point or rotation will be the original but it is important to understand that it does not always have to be at the origin. When rotating it is also important to understand the direction that you will

7 Rotation of reference frames

Ever wondered how to derive the rotation matrix for rotating reference frames? In this lecture I show you how to calculate new vector coordinates when rotating a reference frame (Cartesian coordinate system). In addition I look at how easy it is to do using the IPython notebook and SymPy

Rotations on graphs and fractional exponents in groups

A research talk I gave at Sogang University in Seoul on March 23, 2017. The first 10 minutes should be accessible to anybody. The talk audience was masters-level math graduate students. The work is based on "Generalizing the rotation interval to vertex maps on graphs", available here: htt

Math Mornings: Chaos on the Circle, by Taylor McAdam

Rotate a circle by a fixed angle, then repeat again and again.  Where will a single point travel? Will it come back to where it started and how does the answer depend on the rotation angle?  Rotations and other transformations of the circle teach us a lot about many processes like planets

2D Rotations and Complex Exponentials

In this video, we will discover how to rotate any vector in two dimensions with the help of the complex numbers, especially the complex exponential. We will eventually derive a general formula which I claim, with some modifications, can be used to understand the more complex problem of 3D

Sabine Hossenfelder and complex numbers in quantum physics

Recently I have come across a video made by Sabine Hossenfelder on the use of complex numbers in quantum mechanics. Since the role complex numbers play in physics is often misunderstood, I decided to follow up on Sabine’s video, and make it clearer. Sabine's original video: https://www.y

Winding number

In this video, I define the concept of a winding number of a curve around a point, which intuitively measures how many times a curve loops around a point. For example, for a circle (or any simple closed curve), the winding number should be 1, but for the curve in the thumbnail, the winding
