Angular Position, Theta
The angle of rotation is a measurement of the amount (the angle) that a figure is rotated about a fixed point— often the center of a circle.

Angular Velocity, Omega
Angular velocity ω is the rate of change of an angle, mathematically defined as ω =

Angular Acceleration, Alpha
Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity, expressed mathematically as
