OK - I can do it. I will create a pdf-attachement within the next days.

Here it comes (please, see attachement):
As mentioned several times in this thread, the angular frequency can be expressed as
wo=d(phi)/dt.
However, as I do not consider this expression as the original DEFINITION of the term „frequency“ the attached pdf file shows how this expression can be derived from the relation f=1/T , which I consider as the initial definition (T and f both being positive).
Please note that the derivation makes no use of the angular frequency wo and it`s visualization as a rotating pointer (vector). This is important when we speak about the sign of the frequency.
Instead, from the beginning an unknown parameter k is used (unit [1/s]).
At the end of the derivation it is shown that k is identical to a quantity which is commonly known as angular frequency wo.
Result: As the derivation is based on positive quantities „f“ and „T“ also the resulting expression wo=d(phi)/dt must be considerd as positive.
Of course, one can imagine that the direction of a rotating pointer (visualisation of wo) is reversed. However, this case is not in agreement with the initial condition w=2*Pi*f>0.
