  2. Polar coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_coordinate_system

    The complex number z can be represented in rectangular form as = + where i is the imaginary unit, or can alternatively be written in polar form as = (⁡ + ⁡) and from there, by Euler's formula, [14] as = = ⁡. where e is Euler's number, and φ, expressed in radians, is the principal value of the complex number function arg applied to x + iy ...

  3. Orthogonal coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_coordinates

    A conformal map acting on a rectangular grid. Note that the orthogonality of the curved grid is retained. While vector operations and physical laws are normally easiest to derive in Cartesian coordinates, non-Cartesian orthogonal coordinates are often used instead for the solution of various problems, especially boundary value problems, such as those arising in field theories of quantum ...

  4. Coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_system

    In the cylindrical coordinate system, a z-coordinate with the same meaning as in Cartesian coordinates is added to the r and θ polar coordinates giving a triple (r, θ, z). [8] Spherical coordinates take this a step further by converting the pair of cylindrical coordinates (r, z) to polar coordinates (ρ, φ) giving a triple (ρ, θ, φ). [9]

    Tickets for the Polar Express range from $49 to $109, depending on the class, with children three and under riding for $5 with a paying adult. There are three classes of service – standard class ...

  6. Polar decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_decomposition

    In this polar decomposition, the unit circle has been replaced by the line x = 1, the polar angle by the slope y/x, and the radius x is negative in the left half-plane. If x 2 ≠ y 2, then the unit hyperbola x 2 − y 2 = 1 and its conjugate x 2 − y 2 = −1 can be used to form a polar decomposition based on the branch of the unit hyperbola ...

  9. Analytic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_geometry

    Geometrically, one studies the Euclidean plane (two dimensions) and Euclidean space. As taught in school books, analytic geometry can be explained more simply: it is concerned with defining and representing geometric shapes in a numerical way and extracting numerical information from shapes' numerical definitions and representations.
