What is another word for coordinate system?
Pronunciation: [kə͡ʊˈɔːdɪnət sˈɪstəm] (IPA) 
A coordinate system is a mathematical model that uses specific rules to determine the position of a point in a space, plane, or surface. Other terms used to describe a coordinate system include reference frame, chart, graph, coordinate plane, and grid system. These systems allow for precise location plotting, facilitating navigation in physical or abstract space. Other synonyms that are sometimes used for coordinate system are framework, scheme, system, layout, design, and configuration. In scientific or mathematical contexts, terms used to describe specific coordinate systems might include Euclidean space, cylindrical coordinates, polar coordinates, and spherical coordinates. Ultimately, each of these terms refers to the same concept: a mathematical tool for pinpointing the position of a point in a given space.
