Thanks for the question. I'm not sure why, but I do know it is true. In college precalculus, they follow this convention as well. At least my Israeli professor at Auburn did in 1981. I prefer to say which way I want it to go explicitly.
@@mathhelpbydan5051 If that's what everybody does, then I guess that's just how it is. I don't see the logic in it, but then again there's a whole lot of things I don't know, believe it or not. In any case though, thanks for the demonstration.
To me it would seem like rotating by a positive number of degrees would be a clockwise rotation. Why is it counterclockwise?
