Can I read Spherical Coordinates and Jacobians on EtoBox?

Spherical Coordinates and Jacobians by Emil is a document available to read on EtoBox.

What is Spherical Coordinates and Jacobians about?

1) Spherical coordinates describe a point in 3D space using its distance (r) from the origin and two angles (θ, φ). This is an alternative to Cartesian coordinates which uses x, y, z values. 2) The Jacobian of the coordinate transformation from spherical to Cartesian coordinates is r^2sin(θ). 3) Spherical coordinates can be generalized to elliptical coordinates to describe points within an ellipsoid using (r, θ, φ) where r now represents the ellipsoid scaling rather than distance from the origin.
