Coordinates

In this section you will learn all about coordinate systems. In physics and mathematics certain coordinates might be more useful depending on given situation than others. Here you will learn the properties of these coordinate systems as well as how to convert from one to another.

In the links below you will learn about coordinate systems, how they play a significant role in physics and mathematics, and how in higher mutlidimensional physics being able to use a specific coordinate system can help understand properties of a given object in space.
