Polar Coordinate Introduction and How to Plot Polar Points

Details

Description

Learn all about polar coordinates, how to plot polar points, and how to find other representations of polar points. In this video we introduce the polar coordinate system, explain how to write a polar coordinate in different representations, explain where polar coordinates are used, and walk through three example problems of plotting points in polar coordinates and finding two other representations of the point. By watching this video, you will gain a strong foundation in polar coordinates, which will be beneficial for anyone studying mathematics, physics, or engineering.
