Undid revision 1174856055 by 128.61.76.14 (talk); rv; Lie group is SO, but Lie algebra is so
Line 94:
Thus, the matrix ''A'' has infinitely many logarithms. This corresponds to the fact that the rotation angle is only determined up to multiples of 2''π''.
 
In the language of Lie theory, the rotation matrices ''A'' are elements of the Lie group [[circle group|SO(2)]]. The corresponding logarithms ''B'' are elements of the Lie algebra SOso(2), which consists of all [[skew-symmetric matrix|skew-symmetric matrices]]. The matrix
