Equation has -cos theta in the second row, second column, but the corresponding cell in the other matrix is positive.

Also, why are the matrix brackets round? lol

Since I'm here, here's some other comments I'm not sure if they deserve an issue:


https://github.com/anematode/gatm/blob/ad494de39068d117cceabdcdd52f16fb54f65699/comp_map/comp_map_answers.tex#L650

I disagree here since I think stretches imply a positive stretch factor, so they can't be used to reflect. Especially since here

https://github.com/anematode/gatm/blob/master/comp_map/comp_map_answers.tex#L1054-L1058

says that reflections are necessary to flip orientation.

I don't think "scale" is a good word to use here because "scale" could be "dilate" or "stretch," but even a stretch in the direction of <c, d> would change the <a, b> vector I think. Perhaps the <c, d> vector could get scaled, or the parallelogram gets l e n g t h e n e d

The negative sign has been un-dropped in 9f10b9e222fa832e1bc9a7e451af1cb9c59b58aa, the other comments in this issue I will leave to @anematode .
