2. Polar coordinate system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_coordinate_system

   In green, the point with radial coordinate 3 and angular coordinate 60 degrees or (3, 60°). In blue, the point (4, 210°). In mathematics, the polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate system in which each point on a plane is determined by a distance from a reference point and an angle from a reference direction.

3. Graph paper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_paper

   The first commercially published "coordinate paper" is usually attributed to a Dr. Buxton of England, who patented paper, printed with a rectangular coordinate grid, in 1794. [2] A century later, E. H. Moore, a distinguished mathematician at the University of Chicago, advocated usage of paper or exercise books with "squared lines" by students ...

4. Geodetic coordinates - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodetic_coordinates

   Geodetic latitude measures how close to the poles or equator a point is along a meridian, and is represented as an angle from −90° to +90°, where 0° is the equator. The geodetic latitude is the angle between the equatorial plane and a line that is normal to the reference ellipsoid.

5. Orthogonal coordinates - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_coordinates

   A coordinate surface for a particular coordinate q k is the curve, surface, or hypersurface on which q k is a constant. For example, the three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates ( x , y , z ) is an orthogonal coordinate system, since its coordinate surfaces x = constant, y = constant, and z = constant are planes that meet at right angles to one ...

6. Schmidt net - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmidt_net

   It is relatively simple to re-plot a gridded map of the world onto a Schmidt net if the azimuth is chosen to be the junction of the equator with any particular meridian from the world-map's grid. Each grid square surrounding this chosen longitude is simply re-plotted into the corresponding distorted grid-square in the Schmidt net.

7. Azimuth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuth

   In mathematics, the azimuth angle of a point in cylindrical coordinates or spherical coordinates is the anticlockwise angle between the positive x-axis and the projection of the vector onto the xy-plane. A special case of an azimuth angle is the angle in polar coordinates of the component of the vector in the xy-plane, although this angle is ...
