In mathematics, the spherical coordinate system is a coordinate system for representing geometric figures in three dimensions using three coordinates: the radial distance of a point from a fixed origi...

In this module we look at situations in which the important things about a point are its distance from the origin and, using terms from geography, its latitude and longitude. In this situation we use spherical coordinates.

In this section we will introduce spherical coordinates. Spherical coordinates can take a little getting used to. It’s probably easiest to start things off with a sketch.

The unit vectors in the spherical coordinate system are functions of position. It is convenient to express them in terms of the spherical coordinates and the unit vectors of the rectangular coordinate system which are not themselves functions of position.

Nearly everybody uses r and to denote polar coordinates. Most American calculus texts also utilize in spherical coordinates for the angle in the equatorial plane (the azimuth or longitude), for the angle from the positive z-axis (the zenith or colatitude), and for the radial coordinate.

Interactive graphics illustrating spherical coordinates and some simple spherical coordinate surfaces. Spherical coordinates can take a little bit to get used to. The radius ρ isn’t difficult to understand. The angle θ isn’t so bad either, since it corresponds to the θ of the familiar polar coordinates.
