Rectangular Coordinates
The most common coordinate system for representing positions in space is one based on three
perpendicular spatial axes generally designated x, y, and z.
Any point P may be represented by three signed
numbers, usually written (x, y, z) where the coordinate is
the perpendicular distance from the plane formed by the
other two axes.
Often positions are specified by a position vector r
which can be expressed in terms of the coordinate
values and associated unit vectors.
