How to pronounce mathematical coordinates

For example, what's the term/correct pronunciation of the coordinate(0, 0, 0, 0)?

I will not go on a hunch and just pronounce it the way it's written without checking it out.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!:)

If it's already clear that you are stating a 4-dimensional "coordinate", normally you would just say "zero, zero, zero, zero", I think. If it's "out of the blue" then you would need more words to explain what that meant.

I assumed so, too. but couldn't find any supporting material online. Other than that, is there particular term used to refer to the center

Oh, sorry, I see what you mean now. That point is called the "origin".
