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.

Convert between Cartesian and polar coordinates
Graph polar curves and find symmetries
Compute area enclosed by polar curves
Differentiate and integrate parametric curves
