Polar coordinates (r, θ) describe points by radius (distance from origin) and angle from the positive x-axis. Key conversions with Cartesian are x = r cos(θ), y = r sin(θ). This system simplifies circles, spirals, and rotational symmetries—like expressing conic sections or analyzing waveforms. For instance, a circle of radius a can be written as r = a. Polar coordinates prove handy in advanced geometry, differential equations, and physics (orbital mechanics). Mastery lets you transform complicated Cartesian expressions into more manageable polar forms, expanding your problem-solving toolkit.
