CoordinatesToCartesian

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

CoordinatesToCartesian[pt]

gives the Cartesian coordinates of the point pt given in the default coordinate system.

CoordinatesToCartesian[pt,coordsys]

gives the Cartesian coordinates of the point given in the coordinate system coordsys.

Details and Options

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

Wolfram Language code: Needs["VectorAnalysis`"]

Find the Cartesian coordinates for a point in space whose cylindrical coordinates are given:

Wolfram Language code: CoordinatesToCartesian[{7, Pi / 3, 5}, Cylindrical]

Transform back to cylindrical coordinates:

Wolfram Language code: CoordinatesFromCartesian[%, Cylindrical]
