method of polar coordinates
1Coordinates (mathematics) — Coordinates are numbers which describe the location of points in a plane or in space. For example, the height above sea level is a coordinate which is useful for describing points near the surface of the earth. A coordinate system, in a plane or… …
2Polar coordinate system — Points in the polar coordinate system with pole O and polar axis L. In green, the point with radial coordinate 3 and angular coordinate 60 …
3polar plot — The method of locating a target or a point on a map by means of polar coordinates. See polar distance …
4polar plot — The method of locating a target or point on the map by means of polar coordinates …
5Method of image charges — The method of image charges (also known as the method of images and method of mirror charges) is a basic problem solving tool in electrostatics. The name originates from the replacement of certain elements in the original layout with imaginary… …
6cylindrical coordinates — method for determining a point in space using its polar coordinates and its perpendicular distance to the polar plane …
7Curvilinear coordinates — Curvilinear, affine, and Cartesian coordinates in two dimensional space Curvilinear coordinates are a coordinate system for Euclidean space in which the coordinate lines may be curved. These coordinates may be derived from a set of Cartesian… …
8Marsaglia polar method — The polar method (attributed to George Marsaglia, 1964[1]) is a pseudo random number sampling method for generating a pair of independent standard normal random variables. While it is superior to the Box–Muller transform[citation needed], the… …
9Schwarzschild coordinates — In the theory of Lorentzian manifolds, spherically symmetric spacetimes admit a family of nested round spheres . In such a spacetime, a particularly important kind of coordinate chart is the Schwarzschild chart, a kind of polar spherical… …
10Two-center bipolar coordinates — In mathematics, two center bipolar coordinates is a coordinate system, based on two coordinates which give distances from two fixed centers, C1 and C2 mathworld|urlname=BipolarCoordinates|title=Bipolar coordinates] This system is very useful in… …
