Definition.Cylindrical coordinatesrepresent a pointPin space by ordered triples (r,θ,z) in which

1.randθare polar coordinates for the vertical projection ofPon the

xy-plane

2.zis the rectangular vertical coordinate.

15.7 Triple Integrals in Cylindrical and Spherical Coordinates2

Note.The equations relating rectangular (x,y,z) and cylindrical (t,θ,z) coordinates are x=rcosθ, y=rsinθ, z=z r

2=x2+y2,tanθ=y/x.

Note.In cylindrical coordinates, the equationr=adescribes not just a circle in thexy-plane but an entire cylinder about thez-axis. Thez- axis is given byr= 0. The equationθ=θ0describes the plane that contains thez-axis and makes an angleθ0with the positivex-axis. And, just as in rectangular coordinates, the equationz=z0describes a plane perpendicular to thez-axis.

15.7 Triple Integrals in Cylindrical and Spherical Coordinates3

Note.When computing triple integrals over a regionDin cylindrical coordinates, we partition the region intonsmall cylindrical wedges, rather than into rectangular boxes. In thekth cylindrical wedge,r,θandz change by Δrk, Δθk, and Δzk, and the largest of these numbers among all the cylindrical wedges is called thenormof the partition. We define the triple integral as a limit of Riemann sums using these wedges. Thee volume of such a cylindrical wedge ΔVkis obtained by taking the area ΔAkof its base in therθ-plane and multiplying by the height Δz. For a point (rk,θk,zk) in the center of thekth wedge, we calculated in polar coordinates that ΔAk=rkΔrkΔθk. So ΔVk= ΔzkrkΔrkΔθkand a

Definition.Spherical coordinatesrepresent a pointPin space by or- dered triples (ρ,φ,θ) in which

1.ρis the distance fromPto the origin (notice thatρ >0).

2.φis the angle?OPmakes with the positivez-axis (φ?[0,π]).

3.θis the angle from cylindrical coordinate (θ?[0,2π]).

Note.The equationρ=adescribes the sphere of radiusacentered at the origin. The equationφ=φ0describes a single cone whose vertex lies at the origin and whose axis lies along thez-axis.

Note.The equations relating spherical coordinates to Cartesiancoordi- nates and cylindrical coordinates are r=ρsinθ, x=rcosθ=ρsinφcosθ, z=ρcosφ, y=rsinθ=ρsinφsinθ, x2+y2+z2=⎷r2+z2.

Note.When computing triple integrals over a regionDin spherical coordinates, we partition the region intonspherical wedges. The size of thekth spherical wedge, which contains a point (ρk,φk,θk), is given be the changes Δρk, Δθk, and Δφkinρ,θ, andφ. Such a spherical wedge has one edge a circular arc of lengthρkΔφk, another edge a circular arc of lengthρksinφkΔθk, and thickness Δρk. The spherical wedge closely approximates a cube of these dimensions when Δρk, Δθk, and Δφkare all small. It can be shown that the volume of this spherical wedge ΔVk is ΔVk=ρ2ksinφkΔρkΔφkΔθkfor (ρk,φk,θk) a point chosen inside the wedge. The corresponding Riemann sum for a functionf(ρ,φ,θ) is S n=n? As the norm of a partition approaches zero, and the sphericalwedges get smaller, the Riemann sums have a limit whenfis continuous: lim ?P?→0Sn=? ? ? D f(ρ,φ,θ)dV=? ? ? D
