Three-Dimensional Coordinates and the Right-Hand Rule

The video tutorial introduces the concept of three-dimensional coordinate systems, explaining how to extend the two-dimensional coordinate plane by adding a z-axis. It covers the right hand rule for determining axis orientation, describes the three coordinate planes and octants in 3D space, and explains how to calculate distances between points using an extended distance formula. The tutorial also discusses visualizing 3D space on 2D surfaces and the algebraic representation of lines and planes.
