Deriving Spherical Coordinates (For Physics Majors)

Don't drink and derive HAHAHAHA

This video explains the spherical coordinates in the most concise yet crystal clear manner. Kudos! Your channel just gained a new subscriber.

Feels so weird to see a proper video after all the meme vids with Papa Flammy. Keep it up, Andrew!

I like theta much more for the angle between the projection of the vector onto x, y plane and the positive x axis because it is what we are used to for all of the math before Calculus III before introducing the z axis (when dealing with the (x, y) plane). It is easier to remember for me, but that's mostly a matter of personal preference.

thanks a lot man, been a long time since I learned this in my first year in college, needed a refresher

[exhalerwolf]

Why the hell physicists have to disagree with mathematicians? 😆
I'm a physics student and I agree with the mathematician's version cause that's what we learn in polar coordinate before getting into spherical version.

i have no clue what’s happening in this video but his handwriting is unbelievably beautiful

This is the best explanation of spherical coordinates I have ever seen!! I am a Physics student and this was very helpful, thank you very much !!

[BlackShotwnageHD]

honestly, you're an amazing teacher andrew! will be doing my undergrad y1 for physics this coming month, excited to dive deep into the world of physics

[melisaalfonso]

wow after all these years i finally understand!

[prateeksenapati]

Amazing explanation! The best I have come across yet : )

[arnab_bhai_]

Tnx Andrew to probably explain this are a good

[seanjackson]

Concise and helpful! (from a physics major) Thanks! It's so easy to derive, I don't know why I was never shown this in school!

I was reading through the second edition of "Introduction to Electrodynamics" by Griffiths, and found the conversions (p. 45), but couldn't really understand them, as no derivation was shown; however now that i watched your video its crystal clear. Thanks!
Sometimes when you don't understand something (e.g. a derivation, or a result) the best thing to do, is try it out yourself.. (but couldn't since i was travelling in a bus)..
Danke!

Clear, consize, nice voice. Great video

[robertburnett]

you are an amazing teacher! helped me a bunch to visualize it better, thanks so much

[svogel]

best video I have ever thank you so much

[MrAbdillah]

its really good and easy to understand, thanks mate :) and yeah dont drink and drive lol

[dr.saurabhkunj]

Superb... Very well explained... Thnx bro

[HamzaAli-hhub]

took my uni teacher 2 hours ... you just explained it in 5 minutes and way more better

[notadestinygun]

DUDE, I'm new the channel so just saying hi! but seriously, I'm currently taking E&M and my grade on the first exam was a 72 and I scared shitless.. ill be watching out for your videos to help me out!
