What is a frame of refrence?
Essentially, it's a vantage point. Mathematically speaking, a frame of reference is just a cool way of saying "this is where the observation was taken." For example, lets talk Relativity! Lets suppose a boat is passing a beech, and from the mast of the boat a sailor is dropping a coin. From the perspective of the sailor--HIS FRAME OF REFERENCE--the coin falls straight. To you, on the beech, it falls to an angle (because the boat is moving, you observe the coin falling at an angle resulting from combining the components of the velocity of the boat with the velocity of the coin as it accelerates toward the ground.) These are frames of reference.
