Intro to Polar Coordinates

Polar Coordinates are great for functions with lots of periodic symmetry to them like sin and cos. In this video we will describe the new coordinate system, contrast it with the familiar Cartesian coordinate system, and derive the formulas to convert between Cartesian and Polar. Finally, we'll investigate what "gridlines" will become in the new coordinate system. **************************************************** YOUR TURN! Learning math requires more than just watching videos, so make sure you reflect, ask questions, and do lots of practice problems! **************************************************** ►Full Course Playlist: CALCULUS II: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxc4ySKTIW19TLrT91Ik9M4n **************************************************** Other Course Playlists: ►CALCULUS I: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxfT9RMcReZ4WcoVILP4k6-m ►DISCRETE MATH: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxersk8fUxiUMSIx0DBqsKZS ►LINEAR ALGEBRA: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxfUl0tcqPNTJsb7R6BqSLo6 *************************************************** ► Want to learn math effectively?
