Polar Coordinates

Hello,

Today, I will talk about Polar Coordinates. Polar coordinates are on a different plane than the (x,y) coordinates. (x,y) coordinates are on the Cartesian plane, whereas the Polar coordinates are on a polar plane. Instead of the common (x,y) point, on the polar plane it is (r,θ). θ is the angle at which the axis is rotated in relation to the positive x-axis of the cartesian plane. Although this seems very confusing at first, it is only just tedious. All in all, though intimidating, this lesson was quite easy.

Thanks,
Kaili Chiu
