		In mathematics, the spherical coordinate system is a coordinate system for representing geometric figures in three dimensions using three coordinates: the radial distance of a point from a fixed origin, the zenith angle from the positive z-axis, and the azimuth angle from the positive x-axis.
		The geographic coordinate system is an alternate version of the spherical coordinate system, used primarily in geography though also in mathematics and physics applications.
		Spherical coordinates are the natural coordinates for describing and analyzing physical situations where there is spherical symmetry, such as the potential energy field surrounding a sphere (or point) with mass or charge.

	Coordinates (elementary mathematics) - Biocrawler
		The coordinates of a point are the components of a tuple of numbers used to represent the location of the point in the plane or space.
		The polar coordinate systems are coordinate systems in which a point is identified by a distance from some fixed feature in space and one or more subtended angles.
		In terms of the Cartesian coordinate system, one usually picks O to be the origin (0,0) and L to be the positive x-axis (the right half of the x-axis).

		In the rigorous mathematical treatment, vector fields are defined on manifolds: a vector field is a section of the manifold's tangent bundle.
		Vector fields should be compared to scalar fields, which associate a number or scalar to every point in space (or every point of some manifold).
		Given a particle in a gravitational vector field, where each vector represents the force acting on the particle at this point in space, the curve integral is the work done on the particle when it travels along a certain path.

		Vector fields are often used in physics to model for example the speed and direction of a moving fluid throughout space, or the strength and direction of some force, such as the magnetic or gravitational force, as it changes from point to point.
		In the rigorous mathematical treatment, (tangent) vector fields are defined on manifolds as sections of the manifold's tangent bundle.

		Note: polar coordinates is different from the topic of rotations which are covered here.
		Spherical polar coordinates could be thought of as being thought of as the angles being latitude and longitude and the distance being the distance from the centre of the earth.
		In the polar coordinate system it is often useful to give the equation of a curve in this form r=f(a), in other words it gives the distance from the centre in terms of the angle.

		A further complication is that some mathematics texts list the azimuth before the zenith, but this convention is left-handed and should be avoided.

		You may also want to indicate flow lines, which are paths whose velocity vector at a point is the same as the value of the vector field at that point.
