Spherical

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

Spherical

represents the spherical coordinate system with default variables Rr, Ttheta, and Pphi.

Spherical[r,θ,ϕ]

represents the spherical coordinate system with variables r, θ, and ϕ.

Details and Options

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

Wolfram Language code: Needs["VectorAnalysis`"]

Use Spherical as the default coordinate system:

Wolfram Language code: SetCoordinates[Spherical]

All evaluations now use spherical coordinates as the default:

Wolfram Language code: CoordinateRanges[]

Wolfram Language code: JacobianDeterminant[]

Reset the default coordinate system to Cartesian:

Wolfram Language code: SetCoordinates[Cartesian]
