ToPolar Command

ToPolar( <Vector> )

Transforms a vector into its polar coordinates.

Example: ToPolar({1, sqrt(3)}) yields (2; 60°) in the Algebra View and (2; \frac{\pi}{3}) in the CAS View.

ToPolar( <Complex Number> )

Transforms a complex number into its polar coordinates.

Example: ToPolar(1 + sqrt(3) * ί) yields (2; 60°) in the Algebra View and (2; \frac{\pi}{3}) in the CAS View.

Note:

• The complex ί is obtained by pressing ALT + i.
