3. The Spherical Coordinate System

4. Conversions between Spherical and other Coordinate systems Please record these in your notes __ You do not need to memorize the following formulas but will need to be able to apply them

5. Spherical coordinates r (due to opposite sides of a parallelogram)

6. Spherical coordinates Cosφ = z/ρ ρ Cosφ = z sin φ =r/ ρ r = ρ sin φ (save this result) Cosθ = x/r Cosθ = x/(ρ sin φ ) X= ρ sin φ Cosθ

7. tanθ = y/x tanθ = y/( ρ sin φ Cosθ) (from previous slide) tanθ (ρ sin φ Cosθ) = y sin θ (ρ sin φ Cosθ) =y Cosθ y = ρ sin φ sin θ

8. Converting between coordinate systems

9. Example 5a Find an equation in spherical coordinates for the surface represented by the rectangular equation.

10. Solution to example 5a Cone: x 2 + y 2 = z 2

11. Example 5 b Find an equation in spherical coordinates for the surface represented by the rectangular equation.

12. Solution to 5b

13. Common equations in spherical coordinates

14. Converting between coordinate systems

15. Do examples from text book P. 825 # 58,76, (76 is shown on the next slide_ 76 cylindrical

16. Changing between coordinates on the TI 89 Press 2 nd 5 (math) – 4 matrices – L Vecor ops to sphere To convert rectangular to Polar (2 D) [1,2,3] to sphere (to is expressed with a triangle) Note: You can change from rectangular to polar, cylindrical or spherical Or change from polar to rectangular with built in functions

17. One use of spherical coordinates: Image: Bosch 36W column loudspeaker polar pattern For more information visit:http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Polar_coordinates
