2. Quadrant (plane geometry) - Wikipedia

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

   Signs of trigonometric functions in each quadrant. In the above graphic, the words in quotation marks are a mnemonic for remembering which three trigonometric functions (sine, cosine and tangent) are positive in each quadrant. The expression reads "All Science Teachers Crazy" and proceeding counterclockwise from the upper right quadrant, we see ...

3. List of common coordinate transformations - Wikipedia

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

   Note: solving for ′ returns the resultant angle in the first quadrant (< <). To find , one must refer to the original Cartesian coordinate, determine the quadrant in which lies (for example, (3,−3) [Cartesian] lies in QIV), then use the following to solve for :

4. List of coordinate charts - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_coordinate_charts

   Coordinate charts are mathematical objects of topological manifolds, and they have multiple applications in theoretical and applied mathematics. When a differentiable structure and a metric are defined, greater structure exists, and this allows the definition of constructs such as integration and geodesics .

5. Analytic geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_geometry

   In mathematics, analytic geometry, also known as coordinate geometry or Cartesian geometry, is the study of geometry using a coordinate system. This contrasts with synthetic geometry . Analytic geometry is used in physics and engineering , and also in aviation , rocketry , space science , and spaceflight .

6. Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

   A Cartesian coordinate system in two dimensions (also called a rectangular coordinate system or an orthogonal coordinate system [8]) is defined by an ordered pair of perpendicular lines (axes), a single unit of length for both axes, and an orientation for each axis. The point where the axes meet is taken as the origin for both, thus turning ...

7. Translation of axes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_of_axes

   For an xyz-Cartesian coordinate system in three dimensions, suppose that a second Cartesian coordinate system is introduced, with axes x', y' and z' so located that the x' axis is parallel to the x axis and h units from it, the y' axis is parallel to the y axis and k units from it, and the z' axis is parallel to the z axis and l units from it.
