This drawing shows the relationship between descriptions of a vector $\vec{\boldsymbol{r}}$ in the cartesian $(x, y, z)$ , cylindrical $(ρ,φ, z)$ , and spherical $(r,θ,φ)$ coordinate systems. The symbols used here follow the convention in physics, which differs from that used commonly in mathematics textbooks.
