Definitions of coordinate system
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
  • 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
  • y-axis the vertical axis in a plane coordinate system
  • coordinate axis one of the fixed reference lines of a coordinate system
