	Math Forum: Ask Dr. Math FAQ: Cylindrical Coordinates
		Cylindrical coordinates are obtained by using polar coordinates in a plane, and then adding a z-axis perpendicular to the plane passing through the pole.
		The most common use of cylindrical coordinates is to give the equation of a surface of revolution.
		The Math Forum is a research and educational enterprise of the Drexel School of Education.

		In rectangular coordinates, it is the sum of the second derivatives with respect to x, y and z.
		Cylindrical coordinates is one system in which this works.
		In the present case, we are dealing with a cylindrical wavefront that does not divide into half-period zones as neatly as the spherical wavefront.

	Cylindrical coordinate system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The cylindrical coordinate system is a three-dimensional coordinate system which essentially extends circular polar coordinates by adding a third coordinate (usually denoted h) which measures the height of a point above the plane.
		Thus, the conversion function f from cylindrical coordinates to Cartesian coordinates is f(r,θ,h) = (rcosθ,rsinθ,h).
		Cylindrical coordinates are useful in analyzing surfaces that are symmetrical about an axis, with the z-axis chosen as the axis of symmetry.

		Cylindrical coordinates are simply polar coordinates, (r,θ), with a third dimension (z) added on.
		Cylindrical coordinates are used whenever you have something that is "round" meaning that it has symmetry about the z axis.
		If you are an engineer then cylindrical coordinates are used for situations like fluid flow through pipes or arteries, objects machines on lathes, fields about wires and so on.

	Triple Integrals in Cylindrical and Spherical Coordinates
		Cylindrical coordinates are obtained from Cartesian coordinates by replacing the x and y coordinates with polar coordinates r and theta and leaving the z coordinate unchanged.
		In rectangular coordinates the volume element dV is given by dV=dxdydz, and corresponds to the volume of an infinitesimal region between x and x+dx, y and y+dy, and z and z+dz.
		In cylindrical coordinates, we have dV=rdzdrd(theta), which is the volume of an infinitesimal sector between z and z+dz, r and r+dr, and theta and theta+d(theta).

		It is important to compare the units that are used in Cartesian coordinates with the units that are used in cylindrical coordinates.
		In cylindrical coordinates, (r, theta, z), two of the coordinates -- r and z -- measure length and, thus, are in units of length but the coordinate theta measures angles and is in "units" of radians.

	FlexPDE User's Forum: DTANGENTIAL BC in cylindrical coordinates
		However, for cylindrical coordinates (r,z), and vector potential A (having azimuthal component only), the axial value of the curl is given by (1/r)Dr(rA), so that if A is specified as constant (= c), there is a non-zero axial component of (CURL(A))z (= c/r).
		In (r,z) coordinates, the azimuthal component of the potential, A = c/r, on the boundary has zero tangential derivative, whereas in Cartesian geometry, A = c on the boundary is the correct value that gives DTANGENTIAL(A) = 0.
		To reiterate, I suspect that the implementation of DTANGENTIAL is incorrect for cylindrical 2-D coordinates.
