cylindrical polar coordinates
1Cylindrical coordinate system — A cylindrical coordinate system with origin O, polar axis A, and longitudinal axis L. The dot is the point with radial distance ρ = 4, angular coordinate φ = 130°, and height z = 4. A cylindrical coordinate system is …
2Coordinates (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… …
3Polar 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 …
4cylindrical coordinates — Math. a system of coordinates for locating a point in space by its polar coordinates and its perpendicular distance to the polar plane. [1930 35] * * * …
5cylindrical coordinates — Math. a system of coordinates for locating a point in space by its polar coordinates and its perpendicular distance to the polar plane. [1930 35] …

8Curvilinear 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… …
9Cylindrical harmonics — In mathematics, the cylindrical harmonics are a set of linearly independent solutions to Laplace s differential equation, , expressed in cylindrical coordinates, ρ (radial coordinate), φ (polar angle), and z (height). Each function Vn(k) is the… …
10cylindrical coordinate — noun Date: circa 1934 any of the coordinates in space obtained by constructing in a plane a polar coordinate system and on a line perpendicular to the plane a linear coordinate system …
