Tracking Enchancer, T2:
When Angular velocity = 25% of your Tracking: +9.5% more tracking is the same as +1.1% damage
When Angular velocity = 50% of your Tracking: +9.5% more tracking is the same as +4.2% damage
When Angular velocity = 75% of your Tracking: +9.5% more tracking is the same as +9.5% damage
When Angular velocity = 100% of your Tracking: +9.5% more tracking is the same as +16.6% damage
Copied form EVE Uni.
Could someone please explain this to me?
I thought the closer your angular was to zero, the better, but this information seems to say the opposite.
If my tracking is 0.5, and the Angular Velocity is 25% of that (0.125) I get +1.1% damage
If my tracking is 0.5, and the Angular Velocity is 50% of that (0.250) I get +4.2 % damage.
0.125 is smaller, and thus closer to zero, than 0.25, and if my angular velocity is 100% of my tracking (0.5) It says i get +16.6 % damage.
I am confused.

Those numbers are the practical effect of the "Tracking Enhancer II" module, the point being you get less of a benefit when your tracking is really good already compared to the tracking needed for maximum applied damage.
So in your example - the closer your angular is to 0, the less of a beneficial effect towards the applied damage you get from a TE II module: chances are you're tracking well enough already so the module isn't doing that much good compared to the situation when you're barely tracking at all.

yup
0% tracking = no benefit at all
50% tracking = decent benefit
100% tracking = highest benefit of fitting a tracking enhancer
Last case meaning that you get +16.6% damage with a T2 TE as compared to without it.
In other words that EVEUni chart there is a way to scale how much use a TE is to you. If most of your targets are within optimal and don't have a very high angular then the TE won't help much.

As the others have pointed out, if there is no angular velocity, then there is no benefit from a TE because you are already hitting for full damage.
If your target is moving at 100% of your turret's tracking, then you will hit for 40% of your base DPS. Adding a TE will improve your tracking so that a target moving at the same speed would now be at 91% of your turret's tracking. At 91% angular velocity your damage output would be 46% of your base DPS.

Thank you all for the help, examples & links.
I get it now (finally).
Since I am usually charging straight at my NPC enemy, the TE's don't so much help with tracking as they do with extending falloff, which is nice as i can pop many of them as I get into their face.
