Cylindrical

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

Cylindrical

represents the cylindrical coordinate system with default variables Rr, Ttheta, and Zz.

Cylindrical[r,θ,z]

represents the cylindrical coordinate system with variables r, θ, and z.

Details and Options

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

Wolfram Language code: Needs["VectorAnalysis`"]

Use Cylindrical as the default coordinate system:

Wolfram Language code: SetCoordinates[Cylindrical]

All evaluations now use cylindrical coordinates as the default:

Wolfram Language code: CoordinateRanges[]

Wolfram Language code: JacobianDeterminant[]

Reset the default coordinate system to Cartesian:

Wolfram Language code: SetCoordinates[Cartesian]
