Transformation into cartesian coordinates

I need some help with specific transformations and rotations. But first, I need to describe context. Imagine two points in space situated at $(x_1,y_1,z_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2,z_2)$ respectively. In a ...

Rotation matrix for a set of points

I've got a set of $N$ points $p_1,\dots,p_N$ that all belong to a real object. Consequently, there are $N-1$ vectors $\vec{v}_i$ when $\vec{v}_i$ points from $p_1$ to $p_i$. Now, the object is ...

Put a transformation under the form of a rotation in the complex plane

On the complex plane, I have a transformation "T" such that : $z' = (m+i)z + m - 1 - i$ ($z'$ is the image and $z$ the preimage, $z$ and $z'$ are both complex number) and $m$ is a real number. ...
