Poolcoördinatenstelsels

Poolcoördinatenstelsels, or poolcoördinatenstelsels in Dutch, refers to systems of coordinates used to describe points in a plane or in space. While the term "poolcoördinatenstelsels" is not a standard technical term in mathematics, it likely draws a connection to the concept of "pool" as in "pole" or "pivot point." This suggests a coordinate system where positions are defined relative to a central origin, similar to polar coordinates.

In a two-dimensional context, a common interpretation of "poolcoördinatenstelsels" would align with the standard polar coordinate system. In this system, a point is located by its distance from a fixed origin (the pole) and the angle from a fixed ray (the polar axis). The coordinates are typically represented as (r, θ), where 'r' is the radial distance and 'θ' is the angular position.

If extended to three dimensions, the concept could relate to spherical coordinates. Here, a point is defined by its distance from the origin (radius), an azimuthal angle (longitude), and a polar angle (colatitude). This system is also centered around an origin and uses angles to specify location.

The exact meaning of "poolcoördinatenstelsels" would depend on the specific context in which it is used, but it generally implies coordinate systems originating from a central point and utilizing radial and angular measurements for position determination.
