Lecture

Coordinate Systems: Polar, Cylindrical, Spherical

Description

This lecture covers the concepts of position, velocity, and acceleration in polar, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems. It explains the parametrization of points, unit vectors, and the derivation of velocity and acceleration vectors using Poisson's formula. The instructor demonstrates the rotation of vectors, the calculation of angular velocity, and the relationships between different coordinate systems.
