4. How many types of Coordinate system in
Analytics and Vector Geometry ?
11/9/2018 4
There Are majorly five types of Coordinate System:
1. Cartesian coordinate system
2. Polar coordinate system
3. Cylindrical coordinate system
4. Spherical coordinate system
5. Curvilinear coordinate system
5. Cartesian Coordinate system

At First we will try to introduce the
inventor of this co-ordinate system.
Inventor : René Descartes (1596-
1650)
French philosopher, mathematician,
and scientist.
6. Concept about the Co-ordinate system

There is are two axis-X and Y. Zero is the
origin 0 (0,0).
The abscissa of a point is the
signed measure of its projection on the
primary axis.
The ordinate of a point is the
signed measure of its projection on the
secondary axis, whose absolute value is the
distance between the projection and the
origin of the axis.

In mathematics, the polar coordinate
system is a two-dimensional coordinate
system in which each point on a plane is
determined by a distance from a reference
point and an angle from a reference
direction.
The distance from the pole is called
the radial coordinate or radius, and the angle
is called the angular coordinate, polar angle,
or azimuth.

The concepts of angle and radius were
already used by ancient peoples of the
first millennium BC. The Greek
astronomer and astrologer Hipparchus
(190–120 BC) created a table of chord
function and he was the first person
who gave concept about this system.

9. Cylindrical co-ordinate system

A cylindrical coordinate system is a three-
dimensional coordinate system that specifies
point positions by the distance from a chosen
reference axis, the direction from the axis
relative to a chosen reference direction, and
the distance from a chosen reference plane
perpendicular to the axis.

Spherical coordinate system
In mathematics, a spherical coordinate system is
a coordinate system for three-dimensional
space where the position of a point is specified by
three numbers: the radial distance of that point from
a fixed origin, its polar angle.

Application : partial differential equations , Laplace's equation and Helmholtz equation, separation of
variables in spherical coordinates.
This co ordinate system is developed by
Sir, Isssac (January 4, 1643-
March 31, 1727)

curvilinear coordinates are
a coordinate system for Euclidean
space in which the coordinate
lines may be curved. Commonly
used curvilinear coordinate
systems include: rectangular,
spherical, and cylindrical
coordinate systems. These
coordinates may be derived from
a set of Cartesian coordinates by
using a transformation that
is locally invertible (a one-to-one
map) at each point.
