- What does "The corollary of this is that ..." mean? In such context: We now come to the geometric interpretation of 3D rotations. We can think about the rows of the matrix as being unit vectors of a new coordinate frame. So, we can think of this as being the u vector, the v vector, the w vector, where x_u is the X coordinate of the u vector, y_u is the Y coordinate of the u vector, and z_u is the Z coordinate of the u vector. Similarly for the v vector and the w vector. When I say the u vector is the axis of the new coordinate frame, the vector u will be equal to x_u times the X direction plus y_u times the Y direction, plus z_u times the Z direction. The corollary of this is that given 3 orthonormal vectors, and orthonormality means that, this u vector dot with v vector has to be equal to 0, u vector dot with w vector has to be equal 0, v dot w has to be equal to 0, and u, v and w are unit vectors.

- I guess you've probably received the mail like that: 「今日の英語、激ムズだった。。なんか超意味不明。。でも私は元気に頑張ってます！ところでサークルの話なんだけど、実は今度、地区大会に出ることになりました。頑張った甲斐があった！もう英語なんてどうでもいい！私、全国大会に向けて全力疾走させていただきます！でも、期末試験はやっぱりちょっと不安。。せめて単位落とさないように頑張ります(ノД`)」 If I receive such a mail, I'll answer it in casual tone, and actually whole sentence above is written in casual tone. They just 'pretend to' speech in public when they use です or ます in such writings. And when they write in casual tone (る or だ) in such a paragraph, it tends to directly show their mind than です or ます. "Do japanese people find it difficult too ?": Yes, and I feel lack of consistency... If I see the tone changes so often, I dread to think they might be mentally deranged.0 votedMay 6, 20111
- What's the difference between "provided by" and "provided from"? To be concrete, I wonder which proposition should I use in this sentence: "In your bin/Regions.ini file (or other region config file) you will also need to set the grid co-ordinates to your regions provided [from?by?] the grid operator." thxMay 6, 201110
- I see. Interesting. If I were you ... (suppose you have already done your homework!) 1.ジョンさんは日本語の宿題をしないで友達の解答を写しました。 (Mr.John copied the homework from your friend instead of doing it himself.) 2.新しい漢字を覚えないで全部ひらがなで書きました。 (I wrote everything in hiragana instead of remembering the Kanji.) 3.ジョンさんは昨日よる、寝ないでWorld of Warcraftで遊んでいました。 (Mr.John stayed up all night playing World of Warcraft.) 4.ジョンさんは自転車をなおさないで走って逃げました。 (Mr.John ran away without setting the bicycle up.) 5.コーヒーに砂糖をいれないでステビアをいれます。 (I drink coffee with stevia instead of sugar.) 6.インターネットを使うから新聞を買わないでインターネットでニュースを読みます。 (Since I use the internet, I read the news online instead of purchasing the printed newspaper.) hehe0 votedMay 6, 20110
