  2. Quadrant (plane geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrant_(plane_geometry)

    Signs of trigonometric functions in each quadrant. In the above graphic, the words in quotation marks are a mnemonic for remembering which three trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, tangent and their reciprocals) are positive in each quadrant. The expression reads "All Science Teachers Crazy" and proceeding counterclockwise from the upper ...

  3. Mnemonics in trigonometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnemonics_in_trigonometry

    Signs of trigonometric functions in each quadrant. All Students Take Calculus is a mnemonic for the sign of each trigonometric functions in each quadrant of the plane. The letters ASTC signify which of the trigonometric functions are positive, starting in the top right 1st quadrant and moving counterclockwise through quadrants 2 to 4.

  4. Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

    The black dot shows the point with coordinates x = 2, y = 3, and z = 4, or (2, 3, 4). A Cartesian coordinate system for a three-dimensional space consists of an ordered triplet of lines (the axes ) that go through a common point (the origin ), and are pair-wise perpendicular; an orientation for each axis; and a single unit of length for all ...

  5. Orthant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthant

    In two dimensions, there are four orthants (called quadrants) In geometry, an orthant [1] or hyperoctant [2] is the analogue in n-dimensional Euclidean space of a quadrant in the plane or an octant in three dimensions. In general an orthant in n-dimensions can be considered the intersection of n mutually orthogonal half-spaces.

  6. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    The correct quadrants for φ and θ are implied by the correctness of the planar rectangular to polar conversions. These formulae assume that the two systems have the same origin, that the spherical reference plane is the Cartesian xy plane, that θ is inclination from the z direction, and that the azimuth angles are measured from the Cartesian ...

    This following list features abbreviated names of mathematical functions, function-like operators and other mathematical terminology. This list is limited to abbreviations of two or more letters (excluding number sets).

  8. Octant (solid geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octant_(solid_geometry)

    The horizontal plane shows the four quadrants between x- and y-axis. (Vertex numbers are little-endian balanced ternary.) An octant in solid geometry is one of the eight divisions of a Euclidean three-dimensional coordinate system defined by the signs of the coordinates. It is analogous to the two-dimensional quadrant and the one-dimensional ...

  9. Quaternary numeral system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary_numeral_system

    As with the octal and hexadecimal numeral systems, quaternary has a special relation to the binary numeral system.Each radix four, eight, and sixteen is a power of two, so the conversion to and from binary is implemented by matching each digit with two, three, or four binary digits, or bits.
