Student[VectorCalculus] Coordinate Systems
Description
References
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:
The conversions from the various coordinate systems to Cartesian coordinates in three-dimensional space
are given as follows.
cylindrical:
