In mathematics, the origin of a Euclidean space is a special point, usually denoted by the letter O, used as a fixed point of reference for the geometry of the surrounding space. In physical problems, the choice of origin is often arbitrary, meaning any choice of origin will ultimately give the same answer.

An origin is a beginning or starting point, and, in mathematics, the origin can also be thought of as a starting point. The coordinates for every other point are based on how far that point is from the origin. At the origin, both x and y are equal to zero, and the x-axis and the y-axis intersect.
