unusual facts about Coordinate system


NWScript

vector (refers to coordinates of an object, and is a construct of three floats).


Ancient Anguish

Ancient Anguish is based on a "map-coordinate" system rather than linked areas, which contributes to the immersive feeling of entering another 'world'.

Charles Marsh House

Although, as of November 2009, the house is present in both Google and Bing satellite views at the coordinates shown above, it has been demolished in favor of the construction shown in the image.

Curvilinear coordinates

The name curvilinear coordinates, coined by the French mathematician Lamé, derives from the fact that the coordinate surfaces of the curvilinear systems are curved.

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).

Framing

Frame of reference may refer to a coordinate system used to represent and measure properties of objects, such as their position and orientation, at different moments of time.

Newtonian motivations for general relativity

We can transform our simple coordinates to an arbitrarily oriented coordinate system through rotations.

The inverse problem of transforming an arbitray coordinate system into a diagonal system can be performed mathematically with the process of diagonalization.

Optical space

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