Deducir la Matriz de Rotación 2D y Encontrar Ayuda

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the confusion surrounding the 2D Rotation Matrix, specifically regarding the use of trigonometric functions in the matrix product. The participant highlights a potential error in an article that suggests using (cos(σ + φ), sin(σ + φ)) instead of the correct (cos(σ), sin(σ)). This misrepresentation leads to the conclusion that cos(σ + φ) cannot equal cos(σ) universally, indicating a misunderstanding in the separation of the matrix components. Ultimately, the discussion emphasizes the importance of accurately applying trigonometric identities in the context of 2D rotation matrices.

I was trying to deduce the 2D Rotation Matrix and I got frustrated. So, I found this article: Ampliación del Sólido Rígido/ (in Spanish).

I don't understand the second line. How does he separate the matrix in two different parts?
Thanks for your time.

Hi

In the matrix product in the second line, the vector (cos(sigma + phi), sin(sigma+phi)) should be (cos(sigma), sin(sigma)), which when multiplied by R is by definition (x,y).

Hope this helps.

I don't know why he uses cos(σ+ψ) and sin(σ+ψ) instead of cos(σ) and sin(σ) when the matrix of the second line is separated.

That would make cos(σ+ψ)=cos(σ). Is this true? I can't see that relation. Because there is no similarity between the triangles formed by the vector (x,y) and the vector (x',y'). So it's imposible the cosine is the same.
 
I think it's just a mistake to be honest. It's definitely not true that cos(sigma + phi)=cos(sigma) for all values of these variables, so I think it's safe to assume it's just a mistake.

Yes, it seems to be a mistake. But this mistake has helped me to analize better these concepts.
Anyway, thank you!
