Nope - no difference. Above is say the phase <b>angle</b> is (positive) c, the phase <b>shift</b> is negative c/b (that is, it move to the left). The issue in this post is the terminology used. But don't worry - what you are learning in Australia is perfectly correct :-) Thanks for your kind comments on the maths site - glad that you find it useful. Hi Ang. Nope – no difference.

I live in Australia is the teaching different here? Love your interactive site i wish they taught with it. A moving picture is certainly worth a thousand words... thanks ang Hi I was just wondering your phase shift when positive I noticed you moved it to the right however I have been thought that a phase shift when positive moves to the left and an negative phase shift moves to the right..which is correct is my teacher wrong.

You have shed some new light on this issue and it has been good to think it through. I have modified <a href="http://www.intmath.com/TrigGrph/3_GPhS.php" rel="nofollow">the page</a> so that the proposed definitions are less dogmatic. Thanks for your considered response, Alan.

I have modified the page so that the proposed definitions are less dogmatic.

You have correctly understood that my main concern is with how the requirements of testing and grading often appear to be given higher priority than those of the subject itself. I do appreciate the wish to expose students to the concepts without causing unnecessary confusion, but in this context, I believe that it is more important for them to know that there is no universal agreement on a naming convention than it is to suggest one. I also have reservations about your particular proposed terminology, but rather than take up too much of your space here I'll just put the details on a posting in my own blog (at http://qpr.ca/blog/?p=320 ).
