Vector Fields in Cylindrical and Spherical Coordinates

NOTE: This page uses common physics notation for spherical coordinates, in which is the angle between the z axis and the radius vector connecting the origin to the point in question, while is the angle between the projection of the radius vector onto the x-y plane and the x axis. Several other definitions are in use, and so care must be taken in comparing different sources.

Famous quotes containing the word fields:

    The foolish fears of what might happen.
    I cast them all away
    Among the clover-scented grass,
    Among the new-mown hay,
    Among the husking of the corn,
    Where drowsy poppies nod
    Where ill thoughts die and good are born—
    Out in the fields with God.
    Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
