Rectangular

(x,y,z)

2
New cards

Cylindrical

(r,θ,z)

3
New cards

Spherical

(ϕ,θ,ρ)

4
New cards

Rectangular → Cylindrical

r = sqrt(x+ y2)
θ = arctan(y/x)

z = z

5
New cards

Rectangular → Spherical

ρ = sqrt(x+ y+ z2)

θ = arctan(y/x)

ϕ = arccos(z sqrt(x2 + y2 + z2))

6
New cards

Cylindrical → Rectangular

x = r cos(θ)

y = r sin(θ)

z = z

7
New cards

Cylindrical → Spherical

ρ = sqrt(r2 + z2)

θ = θ

ϕ = arctan(r/z)

8
New cards

Spherical → Rectangular

x = ρ sin(ϕ) cos(θ)

y = ρ sin(ϕ) sin(θ)

z = ρ cos(ϕ)

9
New cards

Spherical → Cylindrical

r = ρ sin(ϕ)

θ = θ

z = ρ cos(ϕ)
