RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 LIŠKA, Vladimír T1 NOTE ON POLAR COORDINATES JF Trends in education YR 2010 VO 3 IS 1 SP 153 OP 156 UL https://tvv-journal.upol.cz/en/artkey/tvv-201001-0034.php AB This article deal with a appropriate use of polar coordinates. We show by an example that routine transformation of Cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates in a two-dimensional integral can lead to lengthy calculation. Appropriate use of polar coordinates on the same example will substantially simplify the calculations.
