- term "
polar coordinates" has been
attributed to
Gregorio Fontana in the 18th century. The
initial motivation for the
introduction of the
polar system...
- the
three coordinates (r, θ, φ),
known as a 3-tuple,
provide a
coordinate system on a sphere,
typically called the
spherical polar coordinates. Nota bene:...
- In mathematics, log-
polar coordinates (or
logarithmic polar coordinates) is a
coordinate system in two dimensions,
where a
point is
identified by two...
-
radius and the
azimuth are
together called the
polar coordinates, as they
correspond to a two-dimensional
polar coordinate system in the
plane through the...
-
meaning as in
Cartesian coordinates is
added to the r and θ
polar coordinates giving a
triple (r, θ, z).
Spherical coordinates take this a step further...
-
distorts both
radial and
transverse distances). A
third choice is the
Gaussian polar chart,
which correctly represents radial distances, but
distorts transverse...
- (x,y)} be the
standard Cartesian coordinates, and ( r , θ ) {\displaystyle (r,\theta )} the
standard polar coordinates. x = r cos θ y = r sin θ ∂ (...

- Green's
theorem can be
understood in
terms of
integration in
polar coordinates: in
polar coordinates, area is
computed by the
integral ∫ θ 1 2 ( r ( θ ) ) 2...
- semi-axes are
given by the
denominators in the
canonical form. In
polar coordinates, a
conic section with one
focus at the
origin and, if any, the other...
