Lecture

Coordinate Systems: Spherical Coordinates

Description

This lecture covers the derivation of unit vectors in spherical coordinates, the rotation vector in spherical coordinates, and the inverse relations. It also discusses the acceleration in spherical coordinates and the method of Poisson. The instructor demonstrates the application of these concepts in physics, specifically in mechanics for SIE and GC. The lecture emphasizes the importance of understanding coordinate systems for describing the motion of objects in space.
