Spherical coordinates

Spherical Coordinates For many mathematical problems, it is far easier to use spherical coordinates instead of Cartesian ones. In essence, a vector r (we drop the underlining here) with the Cartesian coordinates (x,y,z) is expressed in spherical coordinates by giving its distance from the origin (assumed to be identical for both systems) |r|, and the two angles  and  between the direction of r and the x- and z-axis of the Cartesian system. This sounds more complicated than it actually is:  and  are nothing but the geographic longitude and latitude. The picture below illustrates this

Line Integrals

Tutorial Evaluate: Where C is right half of the circle : x 2 +y 2 =16 Solution We first need a parameterization of the circle. This is given by, We now need a range of t’s that will give the right half of the circle. The following range of t’s will do this: Now, we need the derivatives of the parametric equations and let’s compute ds:

Tutorial ……… The line integral is then :
