Fig. 1 - Cartesian coordinate system. Four points are marked: (2,3) in green, (-3,1) in red, (-1.5,-2.5) in blue and (0,0), the origin, in yellow. | | Fig. 2 - Cartesian coordinate system with the circle of radius 2 centered at the origin marked in red. The equation of the circle is x2 + y2 = 4. | | mathematics | point | plane | numbers | abscissa | ordinate | perpendicular | directed | unit length | space | higher dimensions | geometric | curves | algebraic | equations | French | mathematician | philosopher | René Descartes | algebra | Euclidean geometry | analytic geometry | calculus | cartography | 1637 | Pierre de Fermat | Discourse on Method | point | citation needed | La Géométrie | Fig. 3 - The four quadrants of a Cartesian coordinate system.

The z-axis is vertical and the x-axis is highlighted in green. Thus, the red plane shows the points with x=1, the blue plane shows the points with z=1, and the yellow plane shows the points with y=-1. The three surfaces intersect at the point P (shown as a black sphere) with the Cartesian coordinates (1.0, -1.0, 1.0). | | coordinate surfaces | points | octants | Orientation (mathematics) | right-hand rule | The right hand rule. | | right hand rule | perpendicular | dubious | discuss | dubious | discuss | right hand rule | dubious | discuss | dubious | discuss | Fig. 7 - The left-handed orientation is shown on the left, and the right-handed on the right. | | Fig. 8 - The right-handed Cartesian coordinate system indicating the coordinate planes. | | line | right-hand rule | index finger | middle finger | thumb | vector | unit vectors | quaternion | Sir William Rowan Hamilton | standard basis | units of measurement | computational geometry | polar coordinates | spherical coordinates | Renaissance | citation needed | perspective | projective geometry | List of canonical coordinate transformations | Graph of a function | Point plotting | Orientation (mathematics) | Right-hand rule | Regular grid | Taxicab geometry | Euclidean space | Curvilinear coordinates | Stereographic projection | Point (geometry) | Line (mathematics) | Plane (mathematics) | Integer point | Complex plane | Coordinates (mathematics) | Coordinate systems | Geocentric coordinates | Parallel coordinates | Orthogonal coordinates | Polar coordinate system | Parabolic coordinate system | Bipolar coordinates | Biangular coordinates | Two-center bipolar coordinates | Hyperbolic coordinates | Elliptic coordinates | Cylindrical coordinate system | Spherical coordinate system | Parabolic coordinate system | Parabolic cylindrical coordinates | Paraboloidal coordinates | Oblate spheroidal coordinates | Prolate spheroidal coordinates | Ellipsoidal coordinates | Elliptic cylindrical coordinates | Toroidal coordinates | Bispherical coordinates | Bipolar cylindrical coordinates | Conical coordinates | René Descartes | Discourse on Method | La Géométrie | Ordered pair | Analytic geometry | Abstraction (mathematics) | Notation system | ISO 31-1 | Graph paper | 2001 | ISBN 0-13-805326-X | Morse PM | Feshbach H | ISBN 0-07-043316-X | LCCN | Margenau H | LCCN | LCCN | LCCN | ISBN 978-0387184302 | PlanetMath | Categories | Coordinate systems | Elementary mathematics | Dimension | René Descartes | All articles with unsourced statements | Articles with unsourced statements since February 2008 | All pages needing cleanup | Articles with disputed statements | Articles with unsourced statements since April 2007 |
