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
- 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
- z-axis the third axis in a 3-dimensional coordinate system
- radius vector a line connecting a point in space to the origin of a polar coordinate system
- coordinate geometry the use of algebra to study geometric properties; operates on symbols defined in a coordinate system
