1.1. Points

Points in 2D and 3D space

Point 2D

Points in 2D space have only two coordinates which are either called [x,y], [y,z], [x,z], depending on which projection plane we’re moving:

$$\dot{P} = \begin{bmatrix} x \\
y \end{bmatrix}$$

$$\dot{P} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 \\
3 \end{bmatrix}$$

Point 3D

Points in 3D have three coordinates, usually referred to as [x,y,z]:

$$\dot{P} = \begin{bmatrix} x \\
y \\
z \end{bmatrix}$$

$$\dot{P} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 \\
3 \\
3 \end{bmatrix}$$
