  2. List of common coordinate transformations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_coordinate...

    Let (x, y, z) be the standard Cartesian coordinates, and (ρ, θ, φ) the spherical coordinates, with θ the angle measured away from the +Z axis (as , see conventions in spherical coordinates). As φ has a range of 360° the same considerations as in polar (2 dimensional) coordinates apply whenever an arctangent of it is taken. θ has a range ...

  3. Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

    The black dot shows the point with coordinates x = 2, y = 3, and z = 4, or (2, 3, 4). A Cartesian coordinate system for a three-dimensional space consists of an ordered triplet of lines (the axes ) that go through a common point (the origin ), and are pair-wise perpendicular; an orientation for each axis; and a single unit of length for all ...

  4. Cuello - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuello

    Cuello is a Maya archaeological site in northern Belize. The site is that of a farming village with a long occupational history. It was originally dated to 2000 BC, but these dates have now been corrected and updated to around 1200 BC. [1] [2] Its inhabitants lived in pole-and-thatch houses that were built on top of low plaster-coated platforms ...

  5. Cartesianism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesianism

    In the Netherlands, where Descartes had lived for a long time, Cartesianism was a doctrine popular mainly among university professors and lecturers.In Germany the influence of this doctrine was not relevant and followers of Cartesianism in the German-speaking border regions between these countries (e.g., the iatromathematician Yvo Gaukes from East Frisia) frequently chose to publish their ...

  6. Quadrant (plane geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrant_(plane_geometry)

    These are often numbered from 1st to 4th and denoted by Roman numerals: I (where the signs of the (x; y) coordinates are I (+; +), II (−; +), III (−; −), and IV (+; −). When the axes are drawn according to the mathematical custom, the numbering goes counter-clockwise starting from the upper right ("northeast") quadrant.

  7. Vector fields in cylindrical and spherical coordinates

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_fields_in...

    Note: This page uses common physics notation for spherical coordinates, in which is the angle between the z axis and the radius vector connecting the origin to the point in question, while is the angle between the projection of the radius vector onto the x-y plane and the x axis. Several other definitions are in use, and so care must be taken ...

  8. List of Mersenne primes and perfect numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mersenne_primes...

    For example, 3 is a Mersenne prime as it is a prime number and is expressible as 2 2 − 1. [1] [2] The exponents p corresponding to Mersenne primes must themselves be prime, although the vast majority of primes p do not lead to Mersenne primes—for example, 2 11 − 1 = 2047 = 23 × 89. [3]

  9. Cartesian tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_tree

    Cartesian trees are defined using binary trees, which are a form of rooted tree.To construct the Cartesian tree for a given sequence of distinct numbers, set its root to be the minimum number in the sequence, [1] and recursively construct its left and right subtrees from the subsequences before and after this number, respectively.
