    The rectangular coordinate system (or Cartesian plane) provides a means of mapping points to ordered pairs and ordered pairs to points. This is called a one-to-one mapping from points in the plane to ...The rectangular coordinate system (or Cartesian plane) provides a means of mapping points to ordered pairs and ordered pairs to points. 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 covers plotting points using polar coordinates, interpreting angles and radii, and understanding the use of polar equations. The section also provides examples and exercises to help solidify the concepts and explore applications in graphing and real-world contexts.

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.
