BOX 5.1 The Polar Coordinate Basis Consider ordinary polar coordinates r and 0 (see figure 5.3). Note that the distance between two points with the same r coordinate but separated by an infinitesimal step do in 0 is r do (by the definition of angle). So there are (at least) two ways to define a basis vector for the direction (which we define to be tangent to the r = constant curve): (1) we could define a basis vector es...
