ToPolar[ <Vector> ]
Transforms a vector into its polar coordinates.
Example: ToPolar[{1, sqrt(3)}] yields (2; 60°), the polar coordinates of (1, \sqrt{3}).
ToPolar[ <Complex Number> ]
Transforms a complex number into its polar coordinates.
Example: ToPolar[1 + sqrt(3) * ί] yields (2; 60°), the polar coordinates of 1 + \sqrt{3} * ί.

CAS Syntax

ToPolar[ <Vector> ]
Transforms a vector into its polar coordinates.
Example: ToPolar[(1, sqrt(3))] yields (2; \frac{\pi}{3}), the polar coordinates of (1, \sqrt{3}).
ToPolar[ <Complex Number> ]
Transforms a complex number into its polar coordinates.
Example: ToPolar[1 + sqrt(3) * ί] yields (2; \frac{\pi}{3}), the polar coordinates of 1 + \sqrt{3} * ί.
