Compare with Definitions
Derotation
A rotation in the opposite direction.
Rotation
A rotation is a circular movement of an object around a center (or point) of rotation. The geometric plane along which the rotation occurs is called the rotation plane, and the imaginary line extending from the center and perpendicular to the rotation plane is called the rotation axis ( AK-seez).
Derotation
(surgery) The correction of a rotational deformity.
Rotation
The act or process of turning around a center or an axis
The axial rotation of the earth.
Derotation
The lowering of an aircraft's nose gear to the runway following touchdown on the main gear during landing.

Rotation
A single complete cycle of such motion.
Rotation
(Mathematics) A transformation of a coordinate system in which the new axes have a specified angular displacement from their original position while the origin remains fixed.
Rotation
Regular and uniform variation in a sequence or series
A rotation of personnel.
Crop rotation.
Rotation
The sequence in which the starting pitchers on a team pitch in games.
Rotation
The pitchers used in such a sequence
A team with an excellent rotation.
Rotation
The act of turning around a centre or an axis.
The earth's rotation about its axis is responsible for its being slightly oblate rather than a sphere.
Rotation
A single complete cycle around a centre or an axis.
Earth's moon completes a rotation every twenty-seven days or so.
Rotation
A regular variation in a sequence, such as to even-out wear, or people taking turns in a task; a duty roster.
Applying crop rotation to a field avoids depleting soil nutrients the way repeated use of a single crop might do.
In rotation, each member of the group would be responsible for the beacon fire.
The medical resident finished a two-week rotation in pediatrics and began one in orthopaedics.
Rotation
An operation on a metric space that is a continuous isometry and fixes at least one point.

Rotation
(baseball) The set of starting pitchers of a team.
Rotation
(aviation) The step during takeoff when the pilot commands the vehicle to lift the nose wheel off the ground during the takeoff roll. (see also: V2)
Rotation
Repeated play on a radio station, etc.
The new single enjoyed heavy rotation on MTV.
Rotation
The act of turning, as a wheel or a solid body on its axis, as distinguished from the progressive motion of a revolving round another body or a distant point; thus, the daily turning of the earth on its axis is a rotation; its annual motion round the sun is a revolution.
Rotation
Any return or succesion in a series.
Rotation
Pertaining to, or resulting from, rotation; of the nature of, or characterized by, rotation; as, rotational velocity.
Rotation
The act of rotating as if on an axis;
The rotation of the dancer kept time with the music
Rotation
(mathematics) a transformation in which the coordinate axes are rotated by a fixed angle about the origin
Rotation
A single complete turn (axial or orbital);
The plane made three rotations before it crashed

Rotation
A planned recurrent sequence (of crops or personnel etc.);
Crop rotation makes a balanced demand on the fertility of the soil
