Bipolar

As of Version 9.0, vector analysis functionality is built into the Wolfram Language »

Bipolar

represents the bipolar coordinate system with default variables Uu, Vv, and Zz and default parameter value 1.

Bipolar[u,v,z]

represents the bipolar coordinate system with variables u, v, and z and default parameter value 1.

Bipolar[u,v,z,a]

represents the bipolar coordinate system with variables u, v, and z and parameter a.

Details and Options

To use Bipolar, you first need to load the Vector Analysis Package using Needs["VectorAnalysis`"].

Wolfram Language code: Needs["VectorAnalysis`"]

Use Bipolar as the default coordinate system:

Wolfram Language code: SetCoordinates[Bipolar]

All evaluations now use bipolar coordinates as the default:

Wolfram Language code: CoordinateRanges[]

Wolfram Language code: JacobianDeterminant[]

Reset the default coordinate system to Cartesian:

Wolfram Language code: SetCoordinates[Cartesian]
