This is called a one-to-one mapping from points in the plane to ordered pairs. The polar coordinate system provides an alternative method of mapping points to ordered pairs. In this section we see that in some circumstances, polar coordinates can be more useful than rectangular coordinates.

It explains how to convert between polar and Cartesian coordinates and how to plot polar equations. The section highlights the unique features of polar graphs, such as symmetry and periodicity, and provides examples to illustrate these concepts.
