− | A {{w|Rotation matrix|rotational matrix transformation}} (i.e. the big brackets with "cos" and "sin" in them) is used in computer graphics to rotate an image. | + | A {{w|Rotation matrix|rotational matrix transformation}} (i.e. the big brackets with a few "cos" and "sin" in them) is used in computer graphics to rotate an image. The product of the transform matrix and the argument vector (a1, a2) is a rotated version of the argument vector, which should be noted as (a1', a2'). |
− | The joke is that the author | + | The joke is that the author turned the image of the vector rather than writing the correct answer. Rotational matrix transformations are a special case of the general linear matrix transform, which can do other things to images, including shrinking them. In this case the matrix would rotate the image 90 degrees clockwise. |
− | + | At the title text we see that the professors even shrinking at home on this joke. | |
