ROTATE AN IMAGE WITH A MATHS OPERATOR

In Cartesian coordinates, we marked two points P and P1. The coordinates of P is x, y and that of P1 is x1, y1. Both are connected to the origin by straight lines. They make angles A and B with the x-axis respectively. The length of the lines connecting both the points to the origin is equal and it is ' r'. That means, P1 is rotation of the point P by an angle B.

From the figure we can write

x = r*cosA
y = r*sinA

similarly,
x1 = r*cos (A+B)
y1 = r*sin (A+B)

using trigonometry formula, we can expand the equations.
x1 = r*(cosAcosB - sinAsinB)
y1 = r*(sinAcosB+cosAsinB)

If we substitute x=r*cosA and y= r*sinA in the above equations we get,
x1 = xcosB -ysinB
y1 = xsinB+ycosB

writing in matrix form,

So R(B) is a matrix rotation operator. If we multiply coordinates of any point by the matrix operator R(B), the point will be rotated by an angle B and we will get the new coordinates

.
The image shown in the figure is letter T. Assume each square is a pixel (picture element). Each pixel carries colour information of red, green and blue (RGB intensities)
.
If you want to rotate the image, then coordinates of each point (pixel) of the image should be multiplied by matrix operator R to get the new coordinates. Next, RGB info. should be written in the new locations. Finally we will get tilted image as shown.

This is the mathematics of a "rotating tool" in an image editing software.

Science updates: Reaching absolute zero - 273.15 degree c temperature is proved to be impossible mathematically.

THE EARTH, A SUPER ORGANISM

JOIN MY COURSE: "Become a programmer in a day with python" A man called 'love lock' (what a name) proposed a theory called Gaia theory, named after Greek Goddess. It says, "Earth is a self-regulating organism like a human being. The organic life in it interacts with in-organic matter and maintains atmosphere, temperature and environment". Hence the earth is still suitable for the life to thrive. Imagine, in a particular place, there are lot of flowers. Some flowers are white and some are darkly coloured. We know, white reflects light and heat while dark absorbs the same. White flowers can thrive in hot climate. But dark flowers requires cold climate. The absorption and reflection balances and the environment reaches average, warm temperature at which both the flowers can co-exist. This is the essence of "Gaia" theory. On our earth, ...

THE PARABOLA

A jet of water shooting from a hose pipe will follow a parabolic path. What is the so special about parabola. Y= x^2 Draw a graph for the above equation. It will result in a parabola. This parabola is also called unit parabola. Any equation involving square will yield a parabola. Example: Y = 2x^2 +3x+3 (also called quadratic equation) X= 2 and -2, both satisfies the equation 4 = X^2. Parabolic equations always have two solutions. Any motion taking place freely under gravity follows parabolic path. Examples: An object dropped from a moving train, A bomb dropped from flying plane, A ball kicked upwards. If a beam of light rays fall on the parabolic shaped mirror, they will be reflected and brought to focus on a point. This fact is made use of in Dish Antenna, Telescope mirrors, etc. ...

DISORDER IS THE "ORDER OF THE DAY"

Imagine a balloon full of air. The air molecules are moving randomly inside the balloon. Let us pierce the balloon with a pin. The air rushes out. Why should not the air molecules stay inside the balloon safely and ignore the little hole? That is not the way the world works. The molecules always "want to occupy as many states as possible". Hence the air goes out in the open to occupy more volume. The things always goes into disorder (entropy) and the disorder increases with time. The above statement is what we call "second law of thermodynamics". Consider a cup of coffee on the table. Suppose the heat from entire room flows to your cup of coffee, the coffee will boil and the rest of the room will freeze. Freezing means bringing things to order and arrangement. It violates the second law. Hence it will never happen. Hence heat must flow from high ...
