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, ...

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 ...

CASINO'S GAME

Let us find out how the casino survives with mathematics. Say, your friend invite you for a game of dice. You must bet (wager) 2 dollars. If you roll 'six' you will get back 8 dollars. The game will go on for 30 rounds. All sounds good. The probability of rolling 'six' is 1/6. Since the game will be played for 30 times, the 'expected win' is 30*1/6 = 5. That is, you are expected to win 5 rounds out of 30. Hence your gain will be 5 * 8 =40 dollars. ok. This also implies that you will loose 25 rounds. Hence your loss will be 25*2 =50 dollars. Your net gain will be gain-less = 40-50 = -10 dollars. For 30 rounds, the loss is -10 dollars, Hence, for one round =-10/30 = -1/3 dollars. There will be a loss of -1/3 or 0.33 dollars per round. It is not a fair game. Let us make a simple formula to calculate 'Pa...
