Definition:Rotation (Geometry)/Angle

Definition
Let $r_\theta$ be a rotation in the Euclidean Space $\Gamma = \R^n$.

Let $\map {r_\theta} P = P'$ about a point $O$ on the axis of rotation of $r_\theta$.


 * The number $\theta$ which defines the angle $POP'$ is called the rotation angle or angle of rotation of $r_\theta$.
