Note: Many equations which are simple in Cartesian coordinates are very complicated in polar coordinates, and vice versa. To solve any particular problem, one system may be much more tractable than the other. The ability to convert from one to the other quite readily allows us to try both, then use only the easier one.

by CJ Date (with Hugh Darwen and Nikos A. Lorentzos) ... The definition of type POINT here includes declarations of two distinct possible representations, CARTESIAN and POLAR, reflecting the fact that points in two-dimensional space can indeed “possibly be represented” by either Cartesian or polar coordinates.

what is the difference in the "uniqueness" of the representations of Cartesian coordinates and in polar coordinates. ... Each point in the Cartesian coordinate system is uniquely identified by its horizontal and vertical components, denoted (x,y). In polar coordinates, the components are radius and angle (the angle...

Polar coordinates (r, ) represent the location of a point (in 2D space) by its distance (r) from a fixed point on a fixed line (polar axis) and the angle ( , in radians) from that fixed line. ... See also, Cartesian Coordinates.

Current calculus and linear algebra courses for mathematics majors often give college students extensive experience with important geometric ideas and representations---especially Cartesian and polar coordinates, vectors, transformations, and trigonometry.

converting between Cartesian and polar coordinates ... Here is an applet for experimenting with entering points of a 20 by 20 grid that illustrates the above, and other, aspects of Cartesian coordinate systems. The dark blue lines are the axes, the grey lines are a grid that makes it easier to estimate the coordinates of a point:

[edit] Cartesian coordinates in two dimensions ... Many other coordinate systems have been developed since Descartes, such as the polar coordinates for the plane, and the spherical and cylindrical coordinates for three-dimensional space.
