Description

• 

The Student[VectorCalculus] package supports the following coordinate systems:

  

In two dimensions - cartesian and polar.

  

In three dimensions - cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical.

• 

The conversions from the various coordinate systems to Cartesian (rectangular) coordinates in two-dimensional space

  

 

  

are given by:

  

 

  

cartesian:

  

 

  

 

  

 

  

polar:
