	Coordinates (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The coordinates of a point are the components of a tuple of numbers used to represent the location of the point in the plane or space.
		The polar coordinate systems are coordinate systems in which a point is identified by a distance from some fixed feature in space and one or more subtended angles.
		In terms of the Cartesian coordinate system, one usually picks O to be the origin (0,0) and L to be the positive x-axis (the right half of the x-axis).

	Coordinate system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In mathematics as applied to geometry, physics or engineering, a coordinate system is a system for assigning a tuple of scalars to each point in an n-dimensional space.
		Changing the basis is a coordinate transformation, a linear transformation that can be summarized by a matrix, and is computationally the same as a mapping of points to other points keeping the bases the same: e.g.
		Intrinsic coordinates describe a point upon a curve by the length of the curve to that point and the angle the tangent to that point makes with the x-axis.

	Ellipse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In mathematics, an ellipse (from the Greek for absence) is a curve where the sum of the distances from any point on the curve to two fixed points is constant.
		The shape of an ellipse is usually expressed by a number called the eccentricity of the ellipse, conventionally denoted e (not to be confused with the mathematical constant e).
		In polar coordinates, an ellipse with one focus at the origin and the other on the negative x-axis is given by the equation

	Mathematics > Ministry of Education
		Because mathematics is a key element of the curriculum, parents, students, and teachers need to understand why mathematics is important.
		As students identify relationships between mathematical concepts and everyday situations and make connections between mathematics and other subjects, they gain the ability to use mathematics to extend and apply their knowledge in other curriculum areas, such as science, music, and language.
		Teachers can also encourage a positive attitude to mathematics by linking the study of mathematics to careers of people whom students observe in the community, or to careers that students might be exploring with their own future in mind.

		The kinetic energy (movement energy) of a moving object is linear with both its mass and the square of its velocity:
		In connection with polar coordinates, 2D velocity can be decomposed into radial velocity, away from or toward the origin, and transverse velocity, in the perpendicular direction, changing the direction of the body from the origin, and equal to the distance to the origin times the angular velocity.
		Angular momentum in scalar form is the distance to the origin times the transverse speed, or equivalently, the distance squared times the angular speed, with a plus or minus to distinguish clockwise and anti-clockwise direction.

		To construct a point from its spherical coordinates: from the origin, go ${\rho}$ along the positive $z$ -axis, rotate $\phi$ about $y$ -axis toward the direction of the positive $x$ -axis, and rotate $\theta$ about the $z$ -axis toward the direction of the positive $y$ -axis.
		Another application is ergonomic design, where ${\rho}$ is the arm length of a stationary person and the angles describe the direction of the arm as it reaches out.
