Specialty Definition: POLAR COORDINATES

DomainDefinition

Aerospace

1. In a plane, a system of curvilinear coordinates in which a point is located by its distance r from the origin (or pole) and by the angle ? which a line (radius vector) joining the given point and the origin makes with a fixed reference line, called the polar axis. The relations between rectangular Cartesian coordinates and polar coordinates are x = r cos ?, y = r sin ?, r2 = x2 + y2 where the origins of the two systems coincide and the polar axis coincides with the X-axis.2. In three dimensions, short for space polar coordinates. (references)
