three-dimensional space
geometric model in which a point is specified by three parameters
Cartesian coordinate system
coordinate system that specifies each point uniquely by a pair of real numbers called coordinates
spherical coordinate system
coordinate system based around angle and distance from the origin

toroidal coordinates
three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system
conical coordinates
3D orthogonal coordinate system consisting of concentric spheres (described by their radius r) and by two families of perpendicular cones, aligned along the z- and x-axes
