Is there any difference between a rectangular coordinate system and a Cartesian coordinate system? Is one of them a subtype of the other?
My book mentions a rectangular Cartesian coordinate system. Isn't that a bit redundant?

It can be useful to have the two coordinate axes meet at an angle other than $90^\circ$. Rectangular Cartesian system means that the angle is $90^\circ$.
