Polar coordinates
Definition: Polar Coordinates are two values that locate a point on a plane by its distance from a fixed pole and its angle from a fixed line passing through the pole.
Let be a point in plane. Then using trigonometry we have
Polar coordinates
Definition: Let be a point in polar coordinate plane. Again by using trigonometry we have

Rectangular coordinates
• Three coordinates are required to establist the location of a point in .
• This wecan do using the rectangularcoordinates of a point where and are respectively the displacementsalongand axis respectively.
• The coordinatescanbeany real numbers, withoutany restriction.
Cylindrical coordinates
A point in canberepresented by threequantities
• Distance from the origin, • Angle with the polar-axis,• Heightabove the plane.
This coordinate system iscalled the Cylindricalcoordinate system.
There are restrictions on the allowable values of the coordinates.
Cylindrical coordinates
The cylindricalcoordinatesjustadd a coordinate to the the polar coordinates
Consider a point in cylindricalcoordinates. Then, in rectangularcoordinates
,
The point in is given by
A point in canberepresented by threequantities
• Distance from the origin , • Angle with the polar-axis,• Angle with the z-axis.
This coordinate system iscalled the Sphericalcoordinate system.
There are restrictions on the allowable values of the coordinates.
