In this section, we identify some additional features of this system that are useful in subsequent work and also set the stage for alternative systems; namely the cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems.

In order to connect the phenomena to mathematics we begin by introducing the concept of a coordinate system. A coordinate system consists of four basic elements: (1) Choice of origin, (2) Choice of axes, (3) Choice of positive direction for each axis and (4) Choice of unit vectors at every point in space. There are three commonly used coordinate systems: Cartesian, cylindrical and spherical. In this chapter, we will describe a
