2. pl. (Math.) Lines, or other elements of reference, by

is defined with respect to certain fixed lines, or planes,
called coordinate axes and coordinate planes. See
Abscissa.
Note: Coordinates are of several kinds, consisting in some of
the different cases, of the following elements, namely:
(a) (Geom. of Two Dimensions) The abscissa and ordinate of
any point, taken together; as the abscissa PY and
ordinate PX of the point P (Fig. 2, referred to the
coordinate axes AY and AX.
(b) Any radius vector PA (Fig. 1), together with its angle
of inclination to a fixed line, APX, by which any
point A in the same plane is referred to that fixed
line, and a fixed point in it, called the pole, P.
(c) (Geom. of Three Dimensions) Any three lines, or
distances, PB, PC, PD (Fig. 3), taken parallel to
three coordinate axes, AX, AY, AZ, and measured from
the corresponding coordinate fixed planes, YAZ, XAZ,
XAY, to any point in space, P, whose position is
thereby determined with respect to these planes and
axes.
(d) A radius vector, the angle which it makes with a fixed
plane, and the angle which its projection on the plane
makes with a fixed line line in the plane, by which
means any point in space at the free extremity of the
radius vector is referred to that fixed plane and
fixed line, and a fixed point in that line, the pole
of the radius vector.
[1913 Webster]

and plane; as those defined in
(b) and

lines. Those defined in

of the point from three fixed lines have one to another.

(After Renee Descartes, French
philosopher and mathematician) A pair of numbers, (x, y),
defining the position of a point in a two-dimensional space by
its perpendicular projection onto two axes which are at right
angles to each other. x and y are also known as the
abscissa and ordinate.
The idea can be generalised to any number of independent axes.
Compare polar coordinates.

cartesian product
(foldoc) | Cartesian product
(After Renee Descartes, French philosper and
mathematician) The Cartesian product of two sets A and B is
the set
A x B = (a, b) | a in A, b in B.
I.e. the product set contains all possible combinations of one
element from each set. The idea can be extended to products
of any number of sets.
If we consider the elements in sets A and B as points along
perpendicular axes in a two-dimensional space then the
elements of the product are the "Cartesian coordinates" of
points in that space.
See also tuple.

cartesian
(devil) | CARTESIAN, adj. Relating to Descartes, a famous philosopher, author
of the celebrated dictum, _Cogito ergo sum_ -- whereby he was pleased
to suppose he demonstrated the reality of human existence. The dictum
might be improved, however, thus: _Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum_ --
"I think that I think, therefore I think that I am;" as close an
approach to certainty as any philosopher has yet made.
