The authors consider, for iterations of plane maps, the long term average rotation of tangential vectors along orbits, either in terms of the rotation number for the induced sequence of circle homeomorphisms, or in terms of the winding number for the same sequence. Unlike the rotation number, the winding number does not keep track of revolutions via a lifting, but just adds the turning angles needed for a turn in counterclockwise direction. They prove an ergodic theorem, and a sampling theorem for the rotation number and give examples to illuminate the distinction between rotation and winding number.
