Definition that contains coordinate system
- translation (mathematics) a transformation in which the origin of the coordinate system is moved to another position but the direction of each axis remains the same
- transformation (mathematics) a function that changes the position or direction of the axes of a coordinate system
- analytic geometry the use of algebra to study geometric properties; operates on symbols defined in a coordinate system
- analytical geometry the use of algebra to study geometric properties; operates on symbols defined in a coordinate system
- inertial frame a coordinate system in which Newton's first law of motion is valid
- space-time continuum the four-dimensional coordinate system (3 dimensions of space and 1 of time) in which physical events are located
- x-axis the horizontal axis in a plane coordinate system
- cartesian coordinate system a coordinate system for which the coordinates of a point are its distances from a set perpendicular lines that intersect at the origin of the system
- space-time the four-dimensional coordinate system (3 dimensions of space and 1 of time) in which physical events are located
- inertial reference frame a coordinate system in which Newton's first law of motion is valid
