Coordinate system
In
mathematics and its applications, a coordinate system is a system for assigning an n-
tuple of
numbers or
scalars to each
point in an n-
dimensional space. "Scalars" in many cases means
real numbers, but, depending on context, can mean
complex numbers or elements of some other
commutative ring. For complicated spaces, it is often not possible to provide one consistent coordinate system for the entire space. In this case, a collection of coordinate systems, called charts, are put together to form an
atlas covering the whole space. A simple example (which motivates the terminology) is the surface of the earth.
