How do you find the unit vectors in cylindrical and spherical coordinates in terms of the cartesian unit vectors?

Lots of math.

thank you! our professors just dropped a conversion matrix without really delving into why it works

You literally did the work I could never get in this vid we always just drew graphs to get the equations without getting what does what but you saved a of effort by this video, your notations could use work and you did some tiny mistakes here and there BUT you have my total thanks ❤❤❤

Wooow😍... The way you explained 👏👏👏
... And the honest mistakes in between 😂, but you were right. You did it right😇👍

I am subscribing to this dude😏... Now I will get things better.

Why is theta hat = dr/dtheta / mag (dr/dtheta) ?
Followed steps just couldn’t intuitively see why this starting point?

why did we go assume that unit vector r cap is the differential of vector r with respect to r, and unit vector theta cap is the in the same way the differential of vector r with respect to theta.

Can someone please explain why taking the partial derivative divided by the magnitude give us the unit vector

can you share the link where you did the derivative of unit vectors?

The r-vector in the 2D plane doesn't have a z-component. If you mean another r-vector in the 3D space, at least a different notation can be used.

Thanks too much...our professor is just..saying anything random nonsense.
