Wikipedia

  1. Coordinate system

    In geometry, a coordinate system is a system that uses one or more numbers, or coordinates, to uniquely determine the position of the points or other geometric elements on a manifold such as Euclidean space. The order of the coordinates is significant, and they are sometimes identified by their position in an ordered tuple and sometimes by a letter, as in "the x-coordinate". The coordinates are taken to be real numbers in elementary mathematics, but may be complex numbers or elements of a more abstract system such as a commutative ring. The use of a coordinate system allows problems in geometry to be translated into problems about numbers and vice versa; this is the basis of analytic geometry.

  1. coordinate system

    A coordinate system is a method or geometric construct utilized to specify the locations of points, lines, curves, or surfaces in a multi-dimensional space. It typically uses numbers or coordinates and various axes to define these positions within the space. The system can be one-, two-, three-, or multi-dimensional, corresponding to physical or abstract spaces. The coordinate system allows for the measurement, representation, and computation of geometric entities and relationships within a particular space.
