Introduction

Summary

Interactive 3D illustration of the cylindrical coordinate system. Each coordinate can be modified with the corresponding slider. Note that projection onto the plane (0xy) gives the polar coordinates.

Goals

• To learn to manipulate the cylindrical coordinate system in 3D.
• To observe its projection in 2D and make the connection with polar coordinates.
