Section 13.7 Cylindrical and Spherical Coordinates
THE CYLINDRICAL COORDINATE SYSTESM In the cylindrical coordinate system, a point P in space is represented by the ordered triple (r,θ, z), where 1. r andθ are polar coordinates of the projection of P onto the xy-plane; 2. z is the directed distance from the xy-plane to P.

THE SPHERICALCOORDINATE SYSTEM In the spherical coordinate system, the point P is represented by (ρ, θ,φ) where • ρ is the distance between P and the origin O, ρ ≥ 0; • θ is the same angle used in cylindrical coordinates for r ≥ 0; and • φ is the angle between the positive z-axis and the line segment OP. 0 ≤ φ ≤ π.
