5 unusual facts about Cartesian coordinate system


Grant Woolard

One was titled "Christ on a Cartesian Coordinate Plane," depicting a cruciform Jesus superimposed over X and Y axes of the Cartesian coordinate system.

Ground track

A special case of the geosynchronous orbit, the geostationary orbit, has an eccentrity of zero (meaning the orbit is circular), and an inclination of zero in the Earth-Centered, Earth-Fixed coordinate system (meaning the orbital plane is not tilted relative to the Earth's equator).

Magnification

When measuring the height of an inverted image using the cartesian sign convention (where the x-axis is the optical axis) the value for hi will be negative, and as a result M will also be negative.

Optical space

An optical space is a mathematical coordinate system such as a Cartesian coordinate system associated with a refractive index.

Z-variant

The Unicode philosophy of codepoint allocation for CJK languages is organized along three “axes.”


Carlos Sandoval

His early work can be identified with Julio Estrada's Techniques and the Xenakian school and includes the use of Cartesian graphics representing sonic trajectories and its evolutions, multi parametrics (utilizing several simultaneous performance and compositional resources in a single line or stave) as well as internal sonic imagination analysis.

Moo Mapper

It also has three prominent, completely new features - the height level of the toggled radar (in the Z-axis), and orthogonal and perspective projection modes.

Stereoblindness

It has been suggested that Dutch Old Master Rembrandt may have been stereoblind, which would have aided him in flattening what he saw for the production of 2D works.
