Issue description
Indicate the direction that the vector will be rotated in, in order to avoid any ambiguity.
URL(s) of affected page(s)

Proposed fix
Rotates a vector anticlockwise by the specified angle (2D vectors only), while maintaining the same magnitude.
Or add a sentence "Positive angles will rotate the vector anticlockwise."
