| The objective of this
unit is to learn - on the basis of the acquired knowledge of polar and
Cartesian 2-D coordinate systems - about coordinate systems in space. The
participants should be able to determine
points in space and to detect axes and their orientations. They will be able
to apply rules of thumb, such as the "right-hand rule" and "right-thumb rule",
correctly, depending on the context. They will know how to transform
Cartesian coordinate systems and also know the principle of constructing
cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems.
Based on the knowledge in 2-D coordinate systems (Polar and Cartesian) in
chapter 2, the
objective of this unit is to learn about coordinate systems in space.
