Chapter 1: Vector AnalysisCylindrical Coordinate Systems

• The location of a point P can be defined by specifying the following three parameters:

• • The radius r: distance of P from the z axis.
  • The azimuthal angle f: angle between the projection of the position vector P and the x axis.
  • The z coordinate: component of the position vector P along the z axis.
