The Co-ordinate Systems
•
To describe a vector accurately and to express a vector in terms of its
components, it is necessary to have some reference directions. Such directions
are represented in terms of various co-ordinate systems. There are various
co-ordinate systems available in mathematics, out of which three co-ordinate
systems are used in this book, which are
1.
Cartesian or rectangular co-ordinate system
2.
Cylindrical co-ordinate system
3.
Spherical co-ordinate system
Let
us discuss these systems in detail.
