FromSphericalCoordinates
FromSphericalCoordinates[{r,θ,ϕ}]
gives the {x,y,z} Cartesian coordinates corresponding to the spherical coordinates {r,θ,ϕ}.
Details
- FromSphericalCoordinates converts points in the standard range
, 
, 
. - FromSphericalCoordinates automatically threads over arrays of {r,θ,ϕ} triples.

FromSphericalCoordinates checks that inputs obey the restrictions of spherical coordinates:
This point violates the condition on the polar angle 
:
Extract the symbolic transform from CoordinateTransformData to apply it to singular points:
The conversion back to spherical coordinates is not well defined:
FromSphericalCoordinates[pt] is a special case of CoordinateTransform:
FromSphericalCoordinates inverts ToSphericalCoordinates:
FromSphericalCoordinates[{x,y,z}] uses spherical coordinates about the 
axis:
FromPolarCoordinates[{x,y,z}] uses spherical coordinates about the 
axis:
The spherical coordinates used by FromPolarCoordinates generalize to higher dimensions:
FromSphericalCoordinates changes the coordinate values of points:
TransformedField changes the coordinate expressions for fields:
