Rotating a Parabola: 30o Anti-Clockwise About Origin

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on rotating the parabola y = x² anti-clockwise by 30 degrees around the origin. The new coordinates of a point (x, x²) after rotation can be calculated using the rotation matrix. The transformation involves applying the matrix multiplication with the angle θ set to 30 degrees. Participants explore how this rotation affects the equation of the parabola in the new coordinate system. The discussion emphasizes understanding the geometric implications of the rotation on the curve's equation.

The parabola y = x2 is rotated anti-clockwise about the origin through the angle 30o. What is the new equation of the new curve (relative to the standard basis)?

If you have a point (x,x2) and you rotate it by 30 degrees around the origin what does it become?
 
And you can rotate a point (x,y) through an angle \theta about the origin by the matrix multiplication
\begin{bmatrix}cos(\theta) & -sin(\theta) \\ sin(\theta) & cos(\theta)\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}x \\ y\end{bmatrix}.
 
I am studying the mathematical formalism behind non-commutative geometry approach to quantum gravity. I was reading about Hopf algebras and their Drinfeld twist with a specific example of the Moyal-Weyl twist defined as F=exp(-iλ/2θ^(μν)∂_μ⊗∂_ν) where λ is a constant parametar and θ antisymmetric constant tensor. {∂_μ} is the basis of the tangent vector space over the underlying spacetime Now, from my understanding the enveloping algebra which appears in the definition of the Hopf algebra...
