orientation-preserving isomorphism

  • 1Orientation (vector space) — See also: orientation (geometry) The left handed orientation is shown on the left, and the right handed on the right. In mathematics, orientation is a notion that in two dimensions allows one to say when a cycle goes around clockwise or… …
