Similarly, any polar coordinate is identical to the coordinate with the negative radial component and the opposite direction (adding 180° to the polar angle). Therefore, the same point ( r , φ ) can be expressed with an infinite number of different polar coordinates ( r , φ + n × 360°) and (− r , φ + 180° + n × 360°) = (− r , φ ...
Tracking algorithms operate with a cartesian coordinate system. This is often called a rectangular coordinates, and is based on north–south, east–west, and altitude. Sensors operate using a polar coordinate system. This is often called spherical coordinates based on elevation, bearing, and range. Some common terminology is as follows.
There are three main types of computer environments for studying school geometry: supposers [vague], dynamic geometry environments (DGEs) and Logo-based programs. [2] Most are DGEs: software that allows the user to manipulate ("drag") the geometric object into different shapes or positions.
Log-polar coordinates in the plane consist of a pair of real numbers (ρ,θ), where ρ is the logarithm of the distance between a given point and the origin and θ is the angle between a line of reference (the x-axis) and the line through the origin and the point.
Two-center bipolar coordinates. In mathematics, two-center bipolar coordinates is a coordinate system based on two coordinates which give distances from two fixed centers and . [1] This system is very useful in some scientific applications (e.g. calculating the electric field of a dipole on a plane). [2] [3]
If C 1 and C 2 are given in polar coordinates by = and = respectively, then the equation = () describes the cissoid of C 1 and C 2 relative to the origin. However, because a point may be represented in multiple ways in polar coordinates, there may be other branches of the cissoid which have a different equation.

A cylindrical coordinate system with origin O, polar axis A, and longitudinal axis L. The dot is the point with radial distance ρ = 4, angular coordinate φ = 130°, and height z = 4. A cylindrical vector is an extension of the concept of polar coordinates into three dimensions. It is akin to an arrow in the cylindrical coordinate system.
