Cylindrical coordinates

Summary

Cylindrical coordinates describe a point of space by the polar coordinates of its projection to the xyxy-plane and by its height zz above that plane. They simplify problems with symmetry about an axis, such as integrals over cylinders and cones.

What this node needs for W2
  • edge instance_of in: at least two examples (0 of 2)
  • edge not_instance_of in: at least one non-example (0 of 1)
  • edge specializes both: the more general notions and the special cases (0 of 1)

The writing levels say how complete the text of a node is. They do not measure its truth.

Each node uses the nodes above it. The colour of the bar on a box shows the evidence level, and the box also gives it as text. The list below has the same nodes.
