WHAT DOES CURVILINEAR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Curvilinear coordinates

In geometry, curvilinear coordinates are a coordinate system for Euclidean space in which the coordinate lines may be curved. These coordinates may be derived from a set of Cartesian coordinates by using a transformation that is locally invertible at each point. This means that one can convert a point given in a Cartesian coordinate system to its curvilinear coordinates and back. The name curvilinear coordinates, coined by the French mathematician Lamé, derives from the fact that the coordinate surfaces of the curvilinear systems are curved. Well-known examples of curvilinear coordinate systems in three-dimensional Euclidean space are Cartesian, cylindrical and spherical polar coordinates. A Cartesian coordinate surface in this space is a plane; for example z = 0 defines the x-y plane. In the same space, the coordinate surface r = 1 in spherical polar coordinates is the surface of a unit sphere, which is curved. The formalism of curvilinear coordinates provides a unified and general description of the standard coordinate systems.

Definition of curvilinear in the English dictionary

The first definition of curvilinear in the dictionary is consisting of, bounded by, or characterized by a curved line. Other definition of curvilinear is along a curved line. Curvilinear is also determined by or determining a system of three orthogonal surfaces.
