Real coordinate spaceIn mathematics, the real coordinate space of dimension n, denoted Rn or , is the set of the n-tuples of real numbers, that is the set of all sequences of n real numbers. Special cases are called the real line R1 and the real coordinate plane R2. With component-wise addition and scalar multiplication, it is a real vector space, and its elements are called coordinate vectors. The coordinates over any basis of the elements of a real vector space form a real coordinate space of the same dimension as that of the vector space.
Coordonnées cartésiennesUn système de coordonnées cartésiennes permet de déterminer la position d'un point dans un espace affine (droite, plan, espace de dimension 3, etc.) muni d'un repère cartésien. Le mot cartésien vient du mathématicien et philosophe français René Descartes. Il existe d'autres systèmes de coordonnées permettant de repérer un point dans le plan ou dans l'espace. Sur une droite affine , un repère est la donnée de : une origine , c'est-à-dire un point distingué de ; un vecteur de la droite vectorielle directrice .
Born coordinatesIn relativistic physics, the Born coordinate chart is a coordinate chart for (part of) Minkowski spacetime, the flat spacetime of special relativity. It is often used to analyze the physical experience of observers who ride on a ring or disk rigidly rotating at relativistic speeds, so called Langevin observers. This chart is often attributed to Max Born, due to his 1909 work on the relativistic physics of a rotating body. For overview of the application of accelerations in flat spacetime, see Acceleration (special relativity) and proper reference frame (flat spacetime).
Coordonnées barycentriquesEn géométrie affine, les coordonnées barycentriques d'un point par rapport à un repère barycentrique sont une famille de poids permettant de définir ce point comme un barycentre. Repère affine Une famille finie (P,...,P) de points d'un espace affine E est dite affinement libre, ou encore ces points sont dits affinement indépendants, quand aucun des points P n'appartient au sous-espace affine engendré par les k autres points. Dans le cas contraire il est dit affinement lié.
Rindler coordinatesRindler coordinates are a coordinate system used in the context of special relativity to describe the hyperbolic acceleration of a uniformly accelerating reference frame in flat spacetime. In relativistic physics the coordinates of a hyperbolically accelerated reference frame constitute an important and useful coordinate chart representing part of flat Minkowski spacetime. In special relativity, a uniformly accelerating particle undergoes hyperbolic motion, for which a uniformly accelerating frame of reference in which it is at rest can be chosen as its proper reference frame.
Complex coordinate spaceIn mathematics, the n-dimensional complex coordinate space (or complex n-space) is the set of all ordered n-tuples of complex numbers. It is denoted , and is the n-fold Cartesian product of the complex plane with itself. Symbolically, or The variables are the (complex) coordinates on the complex n-space. Complex coordinate space is a vector space over the complex numbers, with componentwise addition and scalar multiplication. The real and imaginary parts of the coordinates set up a bijection of with the 2n-dimensional real coordinate space, .
