  2. Polar coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_coordinate_system

    There are various accounts of the introduction of polar coordinates as part of a formal coordinate system. The full history of the subject is described in Harvard professor Julian Lowell Coolidge's Origin of Polar Coordinates. [5] Grégoire de Saint-Vincent and Bonaventura Cavalieri independently introduced the concepts in the mid-seventeenth ...

  5. Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Transverse...

    Geodesy. The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) is a map projection system for assigning coordinates to locations on the surface of the Earth. Like the traditional method of latitude and longitude, it is a horizontal position representation, which means it ignores altitude and treats the earth surface as a perfect ellipsoid.

  6. Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocentric_Datum_of...

    GDA94 moves with the Australian continental plate. It is ITRF92 (using epoch 1994.0) and thus close to the WGS84 (G730) datum back in 1994, but since then has drifted at the rate of approximately 7 cm north east per year with a slight rotation. In 2000, the difference was approximately 45 cm. [3] It is predicted that by 2020, the difference ...
