Parametric Equations and Polar Coordinates

Parametric and polar representations extend calculus to spirals, roses, and figure-eights — curves that cannot be expressed as functions of x.

WHAT STUDENTS WILL LEARN
✓Convert between Cartesian and polar coordinates
✓Graph polar curves and find symmetries
✓Compute area enclosed by polar curves
✓Differentiate and integrate parametric curves
