Introduction to 3D Coordinate Systems
In this video I provide an introduction to 3D or Three-Dimensional Coordinate Systems. This section is the first part of the chapter on Vectors and the Geometry of Space from my calculus book. A 3D coordinate system is typically defined with the x-, y-, and z-axes in which the direction of the z-axis is determined by the Right-Hand Rule. Visualizing 3D geometry is often easy to use by considering the analogy of a house with 8 rooms (4 on top and 4 on the bottom) and all being in contact with the center point. In the context of 3D- coordinate systems, the 8 rooms are called octants, and the center point is the origin. I illustrate this by plotting several points in 3D. And finally I describe mathematical terms for all real numbers in a rectangular 3D coordinate system, and which is referred to as a Dimensional Rectangular Coordinate System.
