	Any of a number of co-ordinate systems in which a point is identified by parameters identifiable as a distance from some fixed feature in space and one or more subtended angles.

	A two-dimensional coordinate system in which a point is located by its distance from some predefined point (known as the origin) and the angle made by a line joining from the origin to the point and some fixed axis. The angle is typically denoted θ and the distance '<i>r</i>' (for radius).

	<i>Cylindrical Polar Coordinates</i>

	A three-dimenional sytem similar to circular polar coordinates except the angle and radius are measured relative a fixed straight axis in space, and a third co-ordinate is used, which measures the vertical height above some fixed plane normal to this axis.

Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
- This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Misplaced Pages (use {{R with old history}} instead).

From a related word or phrase: This is a redirect from a word or phrase (term) to a page title that is related in some way. This redirect might be a good search term, or it could be a candidate for a Wiktionary link.
- Redirects from related words are not properly redirects from alternative spellings of the same word. They are also different from redirects that are subtopics or related topics, because unlike those, a related word or phrase probably does not warrant its own subtopic section in the target page or possess the possibility of ever becoming an article, template, project page, and so forth.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
