Polar coordinate system
In mathematics, the polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate system in which each point on a plane is determined by an angle and a distance. The polar coordinate system is especially useful in situations where the relationship between two points is most easily expressed in terms of angles and distance; in the more familiar Cartesian or rectangular coordinate system, such a relationship can only be found through trigonometric formulae.

Polar Coordinates
Polar coordinates (r, ) represent the location of a point (in 2D space) by its distance (r) from a fixed point on a fixed line (polar axis) and the angle ( , in radians) from that fixed line.

Polar plots are used to visualize functions. They also offer an intuitive way to present relations involving a variable representing direction.
