14.1 Examples of change of basis
14.1.1 Representation of a 2D vector in a rotated coordinate
frame
◮ Transformation of vector r from Cartesian axes (x,y) into frame
(x′,y′), rotated by angle θ

x′ = r cosα y′ = r sinα
x = r cos(θ +α) y = r sin(θ + α)
→ x′= xcosα → y′= ysinα
cos(θ+α) sin(θ+α)
x cosα = x′cosθcosα−x′sinθsinα y sinα = y′ sinθcosα+y′cosθsinα
Since x′sinα = y′cosα Since y′cosα =x′sinα
x = x′cosθ−y′sinθ y = x′sinθ+y′cosθ
◮ Coordinate transformation:
x cosθ −sinθ x′ Theseequations
= ′ (1) relate the coordinates
y sinθ cosθ y
