A '''rotation matrix''' is an
[[Orthogonal matrix|
orthogonal
]]
''n x n'' [[matrix]] having a determinant equal to 1.
The linear transformation ''T('''x''')'' = ''A'' '''''x''''' is a "rotation".
The linear transformation ''T('''x''')'' = ''A'' '''''x''''' is a "rotation".

In two dimensions a rotation by <math>\theta</math> can be represented by the matrix:
+
+
<math> R = \begin{pmatrix}\cos\theta & -\sin\theta \\ \sin\theta & \cos\theta\end{pmatrix}</math>
