Ellipse in polar coordinates - Mathematics Stack Exchange
The second angle is used in polar coordinates in the standard ellipse and is measured from center of the circles. We call it $\theta_{polar}$ as usual. Green radial line. For an ellipse axes $(a,b)$ along $(x,y)$ coordinate axes respectively centered at origin given Wiki expression is obtained in polar coordinates thus: Plug in
How to obtain the gradient in polar coordinates
The gradient operator in 2-dimensional Cartesian coordinates is $$ \nabla=\hat{\pmb e}_{x}\frac{\partial}{\partial x}+\hat{\pmb e}_{y}\frac{\partial}{\partial y ...
geometry - Polar Coordinate function of a Straight Line
2018年4月14日 · I was having some problem when trying to come out a polar coordinate function with straight line equation. I know it is not good to post images here, but please bear with me as the question requi...
complex analysis - Cauchy-Riemann equations in polar form ...
2015年4月22日 · Show that in polar coordinates, the Cauchy-Riemann equations take the form $\dfrac{\partial u}{\partial r} = \dfrac{1}r \dfrac{\partial v}{\partial \theta}$ and ...
How to "rotate" a polar equation? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
2012年6月6日 · Take a simple polar equation like r = θ/2 that graphs out to: But, how would I achieve a rotation of the light-grey plot in this image (roughly 135 degrees)? Is there a way to easily shift the plot?
Shift in origin for polar coordinates - Mathematics Stack Exchange
2018年1月4日 · Hint Suppose we want to define new coordinates $(R, \Theta)$ using a reference point $(\rho, \alpha)$ given in the original polar coordinates $(r, \theta)$. Then, the old polar coordinates $(r, \theta)$ and new polar coordinates $(R, \Theta)$ of the arbitrary (red) point are related as in the diagram below.
What is the analogue of spherical coordinates in $n$-dimensions?
$\begingroup$ Right now, your answer looks like a "link only" (or citation only) answer. As the goal of MSE is to provide a more-or-less self-contained repository of questions and answers, it would be preferable if you expended some words to explain what is contained in those references and how it applies to the question being asked.
Gradient in polar coordinates - Mathematics Stack Exchange
2018年2月12日 · For instance in the $(x, y)$- coordinate, the basis vectors are $\partial_x$ and $\partial_y$. Whereas, in polar coordinates, the basis is given by $\partial_r$ and $\partial_\theta$. In the example, the confusion arises from the fact that you were expressing the polar tangent vectors in $\partial_x$ and $\partial_y$. $\endgroup$ –
Polar Coordinates as a Definitive Technique for Evaluating Limits
2017年3月24日 · Finding examples of two different approaches giving different limits (in the case that the limit doesn't exist) is usually easier in the original $(x,y)$ coordinates. The point of polar coordinates (as I see it) is to have a tool for proving that the limit is what you think it is (in the case when the limit exists). $\endgroup$ –
